    The hard shell clam Mercenaria mercenaria (L.) is a long-lived animal tolerating wide environmental variations. The animal is an important constituent of the macrobenthic fauna in Southampton Water. A study was made of various aspects of the population in relation to absence of cooling water discharge caused by closure of Marchwood power station, increased fishing activities and the frequent failure of settlement in recent years. The littoral population at 12 sites was sampled in two successive winters. The highest density of clams was at Netley and the lowest at Royal Pier, with actively growing and reproducing populations extending to Solent Breezes and Lee-on-Solent in the eastern Solent. The total stock estimated for littoral sites above Hamble Spit has shown a reduction of about 50% since 1970. The population at present is dominated by large and old individuals originating from settlements in 1971, 1972, 1973 and 1976. These year classes and a recent settlement in 1984 seem to coincide with low river flow during August, September and October of each year. The annual production of littoral Mercenaria populations at both Marchwood and Lee-on-Solent approximated to 3gm-2yr.-1. Although Mercenaria dominates the biomass of the benthic fauna, energetically its role in the ecosystem has been diminished in recent years as a result of change in the population structure towards larger/older individuals. Growth in Mercenaria was analyzed according to the Logistic, the Gompertz and the Monomolecular models. The Gompertz provides an accurate model of ontogenic growth in Mercenaria. Highest predictive growth rate in shell length was found in littoral population at Solent Breezes, Hamble Spit, Weston and Netley. Maximum growth rates in shell length were achieved during the 2nd and 3rd years, whereas maximum growth rates in flesh weight were recorded during the 4th and 5th years, indicating that during the early stages and before gonad maturation a greater proportion of energy is directed to formation of shell rather than in flesh. Monthly gamete counts at Marchwood and Lee-on-Solent permitted assessment of the reproductive cycle, and the consequences of gamete production on variation of growth at both sites were discussed. It appears that at Marchwood a greater proportion of available energy is devoted to gamete production and less to somatic growth than at Lee-on-Solent. The gamete counting also revealed that the peak of spawning occurred at the end of summer and during autumn, this result was supporting data obtained by weekly monitoring of larvae. Results suggest that Mercenaria is capable of spawning at 16oC, which is a lower temperature than that reported in earlier works, indicating a physiological adaptation to local conditions. Growth, survival and environmental factors affecting abundance of planktonic larvae over an 8 days period were studied. It appears that larvae remain in the plankton for about 15 days, at summer temperature. The 12 hours survey of vertical distribution provides evidence that larvae are retained within Southampton Water through behavioural regulation during different stages of the tide. The distribution, seasonal growth and survival of spat throughout the estuary, were investigated. First settlement of the spat in 1984 took place in the latter part of August. The population is seen as stock in decline largely resulting from overfishing and failure of spat settlement in recent years.</p

In this study, I followed the descriptive analytical approach, as I analyzed the evidence related to the followers in the collection of Hashim Al-Rifai from a grammatical and semantic perspective This research consists of an introduction, four chapters, a conclusion, a list of technical indexes, and a list of sources and references. The introduction included the definition of linguistic and terminological functions and what scholars said about them. In the first chapter, he dealt with the study of adjectives in their real and causal types, the second chapter dealt with the study of emphasis and its verbal and moral types, the third chapter dealt with the study of substitution and its types, while the fourth chapter dealt with conjunction in its two types: the conjunction of pattern and the conjunction of statement. In each chapter, I analyzed and applied, by presenting the poetic verses and then explaining them briefly. In the conclusion, I revealed the results I reached, the recommendations I came up with through this research, and the most important results are: The poet used all types of dependencies in his poetry -the poet uses more adjectives and conjunctions. The poet did not balance his use of conjunctions, so the letter waw prevailed. - The poet’s diversification in his use of functions indicates his linguistic mastery. As for the recommendations that I came up with, they include: that this study be a key for those searching for the topic, and that their knowledge of it increase in depth and intensity, and that the study increase the outcome of the process of exploring this topic, whether it is specific to the poet and his poetry or to the grammatical position, which is the functions

    Kepengarangan Melayu menampilkan ciri jati diri tertentu yang dapat diikuti daripada sumber-sumber teks tradisional Melayu. Kajian yang dikemukakan sebelum ini mendapati terdapat kaedah kepengarangan yang membentuk pola dan konsep kepengarangan Melayu. Misalnya, Hashim Awang (1989) dan Muhammad Haji Salleh (1991) mengemukakan pendekatan dalam menganalisis kepengarangan Melayu. Muhammad Haji Salleh mengemukakan konsep Puitika Melayu, sebaliknya Hashim Awang mengemukakan pendekatan Pengkaedahan Melayu. Kedua-dua pendekatan didapati penting bagi mengenal pasti minda pengarang Melayu. Sebagai kajian kes, artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengenal pasti dan menganalisis ciri jati diri kepengarangan Melayu di dalam Sulalat al-Salatin melalui bentuk dan puitika minda pengarang Melayu dalam melestarikan hubungan antar-budaya. Penemuan kajian turut menjawab bagaimana jati diri minda pengarang Melayu dalam menggambarkan imej antar-budaya. Adakah interaksi antar-budaya dilaksanakan atas dasar fungsional atau kepentingan hubungan kebudayaan atau kemungkinan lain yang mampu dianalisis sebagai satu bentuk amalan kepengarangan? Dengan itu juga, kajian ini turut memfokuskan hubungan antar-budaya serumpun yang dilestarikan melalui teks Sulalat al-Salatin

    Ahmed Shawqi is a strong writer who used the classical style of Arabic literature in his poems. He influenced many poets. One of them being Hashim al-Rafai Hashim, who started writing poetry at an early age, left a mark on poetry divan, and made muarazas to some of his poems. In this study the poems of Nahc al-Burda, Mawlid al-Nur and al-Azhar, which are one of the divan literature of Hashim, are examined. These three poems are being discussed in terms of naming, letter of rhyme, rhyme, centroid, content and number of couplets. In addition, this study captures a comparison with of Ahmed Shawqi's poems, furthermore the effect of Shawqi's poems on Hashim's poems are determined. By examining the 20th century examples of the art of muaraza that has existed since the Jahiliyya Period, the effect of the form and content used by a poet in his poetry, come to light on the literal works of other poets

    Current mode group delay equalisation using pole-zero mirroring techniques

    No full text
    This paper describes a new efficient method for designing current mode group delay equaliers. The method is based on introducing zeros into the right-hand s-plane by mirroring the poles of an LC ladder network. This is achieved by developing a current mode model capable of implementing the pole-zero mirroring technique. Using MO-OTA and grounded capacitors, the model is used to derive an nth-order active group-delay equaliser structure which is simpler, has better correction accuracy and is less sensitive when compared to cascaded based equaliers. The equaliser design involves two optimisation algorithms. Simulated and measured results demonstrate that the equaliser can effectively compensate the delay characteristics of a 7th-order 5.75MHz lowpass elliptic video filter to &lt; 5ns ripple over 90% of the filter passband
