The artisanal fishery for muricid gastropods (banded murex and purple dye murex) in the Ria Formosa lagoon (Algarve coast, southern Portugal)
Authors: Vasconcelos Paulo , Carvalho Susana , Castro Margarida , Gaspar Miguel B.
Published: October 2008

The artisanal fishery for muricid gastropods in the Ria Formosa lagoon (Algarve coast, southern Portugal) is a locally important fishing activity because the banded murex (Hexaplex trunculus) and the purple dye murex (Bolinus brandaris) are greatly appreciated seafoods with high commercial value in the Portuguese seafood market. An integrated study was implemented to monitor the muricid gastropod fishery with the artisanal fishing gear (“wallet-line”) through monthly experimental fishing operations carried out during one year. The aim was to describe the fishing operations and fishing gear, to estimate the fishing yield, to characterise the target species catch composition, and to identify by-catch species and discards. The “wallet-line” is neither a species-specific nor a size-selective fishing gear, because the catches comprised a variety of by-catch species and a high proportion of commercially under-sized target species. The vast majority of the by-catch is discarded immediately on board, so mortality is presumably negligible. The CPUE of both target species and by-catch species decreased during consecutive fishing days, mainly due to declining bait attraction. Considering the overall information gathered on this fishing activity, some management measures are proposed for this artisanal fishery, which might ultimately contribute to the long-term sustainable exploitation of the fishing resource.
Incidental capture of sea turtles by longlines in the Gulf of Gabès (South Tunisia): A comparative study between bottom and surface longlines
Authors: Jribi Imed , Echwikhi Khaled , Nejmeddine Bradai Mohamed , Bouain Abderrhmen
Published: October 2008

Longlines are a fishing gear that have traditionally been used world-wide. Surface longlines are mainly used to fish swordfish, albacore, tuna and some species of sharks, while bottom longlines are used to fish large bottom-dwelling fish such as groupers. Longlines are widely known to interact with several species of sea turtles, and there is increasing concern about the impact of by-catch on these species. However, there is a paucity of data on sea turtle interactions with bottom longlines. In this paper we analyse the interaction of sea turtles with both bottom and surface longlines in the zone of Zarzis in the south of the gulf of Gabès, which is considered to be an important Mediterranean wintering and foraging area for the loggerhead turtle, Caretta caretta. Results show an important interaction with both types of longlines. Catch rates were estimated to be 0.823 per 1000 hooks for surface longline and 0.278 per 1000 hooks for bottom longline. Direct mortalities were estimated to be 0% (n=33 captures) and 12.5% (n=24 captures), respectively.

Published: October 2008

Fatty acid concentrations expressed as percentages of total fatty acid pools in seston, stage V copepodites of Calanus finmarchicus, adults of the euphausiid Meganyctiphanes norvegica, and the physonect siphonophore Nanomia cara were used to elucidate trophic links in Georges Basin and Oceanographer Canyon in September 2003. Seston at both locations was refractory and comprised mainly of saturated fatty acids. Phytoplankton did not contribute significantly to the fatty acid composition of seston or higher trophic levels. Only four fatty acids, i.e. 14:0, 16:0, 16:1 (n–7) and 18:1 (n–7), were transferred from seston to C. finmarchicus or M. norvegica, which suggested weak trophic interactions. Fatty acids transferred from the two species of crustaceans to N. cara included the same four fatty acids, along with three polyunsaturated fatty acids found in relatively high concentrations in both crustaceans, i.e. 20:3 (n–6), 20:5 (n–3) and 22:6 (n–3). In addition, 18:1 (n–9), which occurred in relatively high concentrations only in M. norvegica, and 18:0 and 18:2 (n–6), which were found in low concentrations in both crustaceans, also appeared to be transferred to N. cara. Overall, fatty acid trophic markers proved useful for identifying trophic links to N. cara.
Decapod crustacean assemblages from littoral bottoms of the Alborán Sea (Spain, west Mediterranean Sea): spatial and temporal variability
Authors: García Muñoz José Enrique , Manjón-Cabeza María Eugenia , García Raso José Enrique
Published: October 2008

The structure of decapod crustacean assemblages living in shallow waters (5 to 25 m depth) in an area of the Alborán Sea (Mediterranean Sea) neighbouring the Strait of Gibraltar was studied. The relatively high richness found in this area is probably due to the diversity of substrata and the confluence of Atlantic and Mediterranean waters. The most abundant species was the hermit crab Diogenes pugilator due to the prevalence of sandy substrate, the shallow depth-range, and the species’ life history. The coralligenous bottom showed the highest species richness and diversity values due to the complexity of microhabitats in this type of bottom and probably due to the food flux associated with currents. Conversely, shallow, well calibrated, fine to medium sandy bottoms of 5 m had the lowest values and the maximum densities due to the high abundance of a few well adapted species. The analysis of the different stations showed significant spatial differences according to depth and sedimentary characteristics. Depth is the environmental variable that correlates best with the decapod assemblages, with a particularly significant boundary between 5 m and 15 m. Nevertheless, there was a continuous transition between the assemblages. These results evidence the importance of quantitative studies in differentiating decapod assemblages. Relationships between these assemblages should also be taken into account in coastal management, since altering a substrate could have repercussions for the structure of the communities of neighbouring substrates. No seasonal significant differences were found in the overall analysis of the area, but there were differences between spring and autumn and spring and summer in relation to depth and substrate (crossed analysis). Finally, we present the species which allow us to discriminate the different assemblages according to sediment and depth, as well as the species’ contributions.
Osmoregulation as a potential factor for the differential distribution of two cryptic gobiid species, Pomatoschistus microps and P. marmoratus in French Mediterranean lagoons

Published: October 2008

This study was aimed at the detection of potential differences in the osmoregulatory capacity of two cryptic species of gobies, Pomatoschistus microps (Krøyer, 1838) and P. marmoratus (Risso, 1810), that have different distributions in French Mediterranean lagoons characterised by different salinity regimes. Specimens of both species were experimentally exposed to different salinities, their salinity tolerance was evaluated and their blood osmolality was measured. Both species are strong osmoregulators over a wide range of salinities but P. microps showed higher performances of hyper-regulation at very low salinities (10 and 40 mosm/kg, i.e. freshwater 0.3 and 1.4) and of hypo-regulation at high salinities (1500 mosm/kg, 51). Only P. microps was able to tolerate freshwater exposure over 4 days. We conclude that the high osmoregulatory capacity found in P. microps is linked to its better survival at very low salinities and is a physiological requirement for living in areas such as the Mauguio lagoon where salinity is highly variable. In contrast, as osmoregulation of P. marmoratus is less efficient at extreme salinities, this species cannot colonise such environments and is restricted to habitats where salinity is more stable, such as the Thau lagoon.
Tagging reveals limited exchange of immature loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) between regions in the western Mediterranean

Published: October 2008

Exchange of immature loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) between the northern and southern regions of the western Mediterranean was investigated using data obtained from several Spanish tagging programmes. Tagged turtles ranged in straight carapace length from 23.0 to 74.0 cm. Thirty-six turtles were recaptured after an average interval of 390.5±462.6 days (SD). As the mean dispersal distance (MDD) of a turtle population that spreads over the western Mediterranean would stabilize after 117 days (CI 95%: 98 to 149), two analyses were conducted that included data from turtles recaptured after 98 and 149 days respectively. In both analyses, turtles were recaptured more often than expected in the same region where they had been tagged. No difference was found in either of the two regions between the average distance between the capture and recapture locations and the expected MDD if the turtles were to remain in the region where they were first captured. Turtles recaptured after 15 and 25 days respectively were excluded from the analysis to ensure data independence. The overall evidence indicates that immature turtles exhibit strong site fidelity to certain areas and that there is a strong barrier to dispersal between the northern and southern parts of the western Mediterranean. Therefore, loggerhead turtles in the western Mediterranean should be split into at least two management units.
Associations in the deep-sea benthopelagic zone: the amphipod crustacean Caprella subtilis (Amphipoda: Caprellidae) and the holothurian Ellipinion kumai (Elasipodida: Elpidiidae)
Authors: Lindsay Dhugal J. , Takeuchi Ichiro
Published: October 2008

An association between the caprellid amphipod Caprella subtilis Mayer, 1903 and the elpidiid holothurian Ellipinion kumai (Mitsukuri, 1912) was confirmed through in situ submersible capture at 309 m depth in Sagami Bay, central Japan, and through shipboard observations. Information on this association, including behavioural and morphological data on both species, is presented. Information on the taxonomic standing of C. subtilis and related species is also introduced. Furthermore, we record swimming behaviour in the holothurian genus Ellipinion for the first time. We also introduce other biotic associations revealed during studies using submersible vehicles operated by the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC), including associations between benthopelagic holothurians and mysids, as well as hydrozoan polyps.
Distribution of Polychaeta in soft-bottoms of a Galician Ria (NW Spain)
Authors: Cacabelos Eva , Moreira Juan , Troncoso Jesús S.
Published: October 2008

Macrobenthic polychaete distributions were studied along the soft-bottoms of the Ensenada de San Simón (Galicia, NW Spain). Results suggest that the distribution and abundance of polychaetes in the inlet were highly dependent on depth, sediment characteristics (grain size, organic matter and calcium carbonate content) and bottom water temperature. In the inner area of the inlet, intertidal bottoms colonised by the seagrasses Zostera marina and Z. noltii were dominated by spionids and capitellids, and showed low species number and diversity. Shallow muddy bottoms of central areas were mostly dominated by ampharetids, terebellids and cirratullids. These families along with paraonids, maldanids and syllids were the most abundant families in the deeper subtidal muddy bottoms at the mouth of the inlet. These sediments also showed the highest number of species, diversity and density of individuals.
Solution‐Processed Bulk‐Heterojunction Solar Cells Based on Monodisperse Dendritic Oligothiophenes
Authors: Ma Chang‐Qi , Fonrodona Marta , Schikora Martin C. , Wienk Martijn M. , Janssen René A. J. , Bäuerle Peter
Published: October 2008

A novel family of soluble conjugated dendritic oligothiophenes (DOTs) as monodisperse 3D macromolecular architectures was characterized with respect to optical and redox properties in solution and in solid films. Band gaps of 2.5–2.2 eV, typical for organic semiconductors, were determined as well as HOMO/LUMO energy levels ideal for efficient electron transfer to acceptors such as [6,6]‐phenyl‐C61‐butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) identifying them as suitable materials for solar cell applications. Solution‐processed bulk‐heterojunction solar cells using DOTs as electron donor and PCBM as acceptor were prepared and investigated. High open‐circuit voltages VOC of 1.0 V and power‐conversion efficiencies up to 1.72% were obtained for the DOT‐based devices. The higher generations DOTs provide the highest efficiencies. Based on the monodispersity of the DOTs, an analysis of the molar ratio between donor and acceptor in the blended film was possible leading to an optimal value of five to six thiophene units per PCBM.
Using ARX and NARX approaches for modeling and prediction of the process behavior: application to a reactor‐exchanger
Authors: Chetouani Yahya
Published: October 2008

Chemical industries are characterized often by nonlinear processes. Therefore, it is often difficult to obtain nonlinear models that accurately describe a plant in all regimes. The main contribution of this work is to establish a reliable model of a process behavior. The use of this model should reflect the normal behavior of the process and allow distinguishing it from an abnormal one. Consequently, the black‐box identification based on the neural network (NN) approach by means of a nonlinear autoregressive with exogenous input (NARX) model has been chosen in this study. A comparison with an autoregressive with exogenous input (ARX) model based on the least squares criterion is carried out. This study also shows the choice and the performance of ARX and NARX models in the training and test phases. Statistical criteria are used for the validation of the experimental data of these approaches. The identified neural model is implemented by training a multilayer perceptron artificial neural network (MLP‐ANN) with input–output experimental data. An analysis of the inputs number, hidden neurons and their influence on the behavior of the neural predictor is carried out. In order to illustrate the proposed ideas, a reactor‐exchanger is used. Satisfactory agreement between identified and experimental data is found and results show that the neural model predicts the evolution of the process dynamics in a better way.

Effects of defrosting period on mold adhesion force of epoxy molding compound
Authors: Chen Hwe‐Zhong , Lee Wen‐Hung , Lee Huei‐Huang , Huang Durn‐Yuan , Chang Shyang‐Jye , Hwang Sheng‐Jye
Published: October 2008

In integrated circuit (IC) packaging, when epoxy‐molding compound (EMC) is filled in the mold cavity and cured in the mold, adhesion occurs in the interface between EMC and the mold surface. Too large an adhesion force can cause many problems. For example, too large an adhesion force may damage an IC during ejection and cause the package to fail and thus lower the yield rate. To resolve mold adhesion problems, improving the mold design and applying suitable surface treatments, such as mold surface coating, are the common approaches. Applying suitable surface coating is a more popular and practical approach. Defrosting is a process to increase the frozen EMC temperature to room temperature, and to retain it at room temperature for some period before molding. It is a common practice to put EMC under required atmospheric environment during defrosting. It has been found by molding engineers that increased defrosting period will increase the frequency of mold cleaning. But there is no quantitative description on how much the adhesion force increases during the defrosting process.

This paper describes the use of a semiautomatic EMC adhesion force test instrument to measure the normal adhesion force between the mold surface and EMC. By measuring the adhesion force, one can quantify how much adhesion force exists between EMC and the mold surface under different defrosting periods. The results show that it is best to use the EMC with 24–32 h of defrosting, to prevent excessive amount of mold adhesion force and it has been found that the adhesion force of the 24 h defrosting period will be 24% less than that of the 48 h defrosting period. Decreasing moisture absorption will decrease the increase in adhesion force for prolonged defrosting period cases. Copyright © 2008 Curtin University of Technology and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Compression process effects on filling density and replication properties of micro‐surfaces during metal injection molding
Authors: Okubo Kenji , Tanaka Shigeo , Hamada Hiroyuki , Ito Hiroshi
Published: October 2008

To improve the surface replication properties and density of final metal injection molded (MIM) products, injection‐compression molding was applied to metal‐mold processing. Effects of the mold temperature and compression process conditions, such as the compression period, on the density, surface roughness, and geometry of green compacts and sintered products were investigated. The density of green compacts, cavity pressure inside the mold, and surface roughness were improved for longer compression periods of both pressure and volume control methods. Micro‐scale replication properties for the V‐grooves of green compacts revealed a complicated tendency involving the compression period and control method. The V‐groove replication properties improved with increasing compression period, except for the volume control method and lower mold temperature. The sintered MIM products' final properties strongly affect the characteristics of green compacts. The injection‐compression process for MIM products, e.g. metal–polymer complexes, can improve the surface replication properties and roughness of green compacts.

Interaction between aqueous solutions of polymer and surfactant and its effect on physicochemical properties
Authors: Khan Mohammad Yunus , Samanta Abhijit , Ojha Keka , Mandal Ajay
Published: October 2008

Interaction between water‐soluble polymers and anionic surfactants has been studied by surface tension and conductivity measurements. Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS) were used as surfactant while polyacrylamide (PAA), commercial grade partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (PHPA), and xanthan gum were used as water‐soluble polymers for the present study. The behavior of surfactant–polymer interaction was found to be dependent on both surfactant and polymer concentrations. After the critical aggregation concentration (CAC), interaction between the water‐soluble polymer and surfactants was started and above the polymer saturation point (PSP) polymer was saturated by surfactant with no further change of surface tension and conductivity of the solution. It has also been found that alkali (NaOH) and salts (Na2CO3, NaCl) have significant influence on the polymer–surfactant interaction.

Combining state estimator and disturbance observer in discrete‐time sliding mode controller design
Authors: Chang Jeang‐Lin
Published: October 2008

In response to a multiple input/multiple output discrete‐time linear system with mismatched disturbances, an algorithm capable of performing estimated system states and unknown disturbances is proposed first, and then followed with the design of the controller. Attributed to the fact that both system states and disturbances can be estimated simultaneously with our proposed method, the estimation error is constrained at less thanO(T) as the disturbance between the two sampling points is insignificant. In addition, the estimated system states and disturbances are then to be used in the controller when implementing our algorithm in a non‐minimum phase system (with respect to the relation between the output and the disturbance). The tracking error is constrained in a small bounded region and the system stability is guaranteed. Finally, a numerical example is presented to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed control scheme. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley and Sons Asia Pte Ltd and Chinese Automatic Control Society
Feasibility of production methods for succinic acid derivatives: a marriage of renewable resources and chemical technology
Authors: Cukalovic Ana , Stevens Christian V.
Published: October 2008

Succinic acid has recently received a great deal of attention in various publications and presentations when discussing the potential of renewable resources for the production of chemical building blocks. As a starting material for a number of conversions, it leads to important derivatives for various industrial branches. In this review, many suggested/published processes are analyzed and the feasibility of the processes toward industrial use in comparison with actual production routes has been evaluated.

Derivatives that have a high probability of being successfully produced from succinic acid are tetrahydrofuran, γ‐butyrolactone and butanediol, as well as various pyrrolidones. Other nitrogen‐containing succinic acid derivatives, as well as its esters and salts, have various uses and can be used for further conversions. Succinate‐based surfactants and polymers are produced in large quantities.

This review also contains a short overview of chemicals that might be produced from succinic acid, but the routes are still not economically feasible at this point and are only of academic interest at the moment. © 2008 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
Der Pärchenegel Schistosoma und die Bilharziose. Erfolgreicher Parasit
Authors: Ruppel Andreas
Published: October 2008

Schistosomen verursachen die in den Tropen weit verbreitete Bilharziose (syn: Schistosomiasis). Diese Würmer sind in faszinierender Weise an ihren Wirt angepasst. Sie nutzen die Immunantwort sogar zum Vorteil des Parasitenzyklus aus. Die Immunreaktion auf die Parasiten‐Eier verursacht außerdem direkt oder indirekt alle Symptome der Krankheit. Die Verbreitung der Zwischenwirt‐Schnecken hängt eng mit landwirtschaftlichen Aktivitäten zusammen, allerdings in Afrika und Asien mit entgegengesetzter Wirkung. Trotz eines verfügbaren und kostengünstigen Medikamentes ist die Bilharziose als Krankheit der Armut ohne Verbesserung der Lebensbedingungen und der Gesundheitssysteme in den Endemiegebieten weiterhin kaum zu kontrollieren.

Simplified Calculation of Mixing and Suspending Processes in Agitated Vessels – Part II: Examples of Application
Authors: Lohse R. , Platzer B.
Published: October 2008

Mixing processes in agitated vessels with different stirring systems are simulated using a cell model. The model takes the fluid velocity and fluid turbulence, as well as the diffusion and the sedimentation velocity of the particles into account. The two‐ and three‐dimensional behaviors of single particles and collectives of particles in the vessels, respectively, are discussed in terms of different aspects. The calculated concentration distributions are compared with some measurements from the literature. Furthermore, a user interface developed for the calculation program, is introduced.
Multiphase CFD Modeling for a Chemical Looping Combustion Process (Fuel Reactor)
Authors: Deng Z. G. , Xiao R. , Jin B. S. , Song Q. L. , Huang H.
Published: October 2008

There are growing concerns about increasing emissions of greenhouse gases and a looming global warming crisis. CO2 is a greenhouse gas that affects the climate of the earth. Fossil fuel consumption is the major source of anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Chemical looping combustion (CLC) has been suggested as an energy‐efficient method for the capture of carbon dioxide from combustion. A chemical‐looping combustion system consists of a fuel reactor and an air reactor. The air reactor consists of a conventional circulating fluidized bed and the fuel reactor is a bubbling fluidized bed. The basic principle involves avoiding direct contact of air and fuel during the combustion. The oxygen is transferred by the oxygen carrier from the air to the fuel. The water in combustion products can be easily removed by condensation and pure carbon dioxide is obtained without any loss of energy for separation. With the improvement of numerical methods and more advanced hardware technology, the time required to run CFD (computational fluid dynamic) codes is decreasing. Hence, multiphase CFD‐based models for dealing with complex gas‐solid hydrodynamics and chemical reactions are becoming more accessible. To date, there are no reports in the literature concerning mathematical modeling of chemical‐looping combustion using FLUENT. In this work, the reaction kinetics models of the (CaSO4 + H2) fuel reactor is developed by means of the commercial code FLUENT. The effects of particle diameter, gas flow rate and bed temperature on chemical looping combustion performance are also studied. The results show that the high bed temperature, low gas flow rate and small particle size could enhance the CLC performance.
1,3‐Diindolylureas and 1,3‐Diindolylthioureas: Anion Complexation Studies in Solution and the Solid State
Authors: Caltagirone Claudia , Hiscock Jennifer R. , Hursthouse Michael B. , Light Mark E. , Gale Philip A.
Published: October 2008

1,3‐Diindolylureas and thioureas have been synthesised and their anion complexation properties in solution studied. Whilst diindolylthioureas showed only moderate affinities and selectivities, diindolylureas show remarkably high affinity for dihydrogen phosphate in solution for an acyclic, neutral receptor in water/[D6]DMSO mixtures. These easy‐to‐make compounds adopt relatively planar conformations in the solid‐state and are able to donate four hydrogen bonds and yet not fill the coordination sphere of carbonate or phosphate, allowing two or three receptors to bind to each anion in the solid‐state.
