Rodrigues parameters on dual hyperbolic unit sphere H20
No full textRodrigues parameters depend on the tangent of the half rotation angle in Euclidean space but in Dual space, dual Rodrigues parameters contain both rotation angle and distance corresponding the shortest distance between the straight lines in R-3. In this paper, we give Cayley's formula for the dual hyperbolic spherical motion and explain 3x3 type L-Dual skew symmetric matrices by using properties of this formula. Then, we obtain Rodrigues parameters of dual Hyperbolic unit sphere and show that Rodrigues parameters contain the hyperbolic rotation angle which is being between timelike lines and distance which is the minimal Lorentzian distance between the timelike lines of R-1(3)TUBITAK (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey)Turkiye Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Arastirma Kurumu (TUBITAK)The first author would like to thank TUBITAK (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey) for their financial supports during her PhD studies

Extensive Sharing of COI and CYB Haplotypes in the Reef-building Staghorn Coral (Acropora spp.) in Sabah, North Borneo
No full textThe relationship between zooplankton community structure and selected environmental conditions was investigated by simultaneous two-day consecutive sampling in the waters overlying Coral and sand sites off Sibu Island and a Seagrass site off Tinggi Island, Johor, Malaysia. A total of 129 taxa were identified, 60 non-Copepod taxa and 69 Copepod species in all samples. Uni- and multi-variate analyses reveal distinct Coral, sand, Seagrass Copepod assemblages with indicator Copepod species and attributes of their size fractions. Small fraction (100–335 µm) samples contained greatest number of individuals, few rare species and were densest at onshore depths, and the opposite for large fraction (>335 µm) samples but were densest at nighttime and most species rich in the Coral site at night. Higher species diversity at offshore stations is due likely to ecotonal effects of overlapping oceanic and nearshore communities. This study demonstrates the usefulness of uni- and multi-variate analyses in identifying patterns in Zooplankton community structure in representative shallow tropical habitats, and the need for accurate Zooplankton taxonomy, nighttime and daytime and onshore and offshore sampling, and size fractionation of samples
Development of molecular markers for the conservation of phalaenopsis gigantea, paphiopedilum rothschildianum and other endangered endemic orchids of Sabah, Malaysia
No full textPaphiopedilum lowii are endangered orchids endemic to Sabah, Malaysia, which are
currently accorded protection under the provisions of the CITES. The molecular
characterization of these species, is the most significant step in the development of a
conservation and management strategy for wild orchid populations. This constituted
the basis for this investigation, which was directed towards elucidating the population
genetic structure of the endangered orchids using microsatellite loci. Eighty three
individuals representing three populations of P. rothschildianum derived from Bukit
Ampuan, Melangkap and Telupid were sampled. DNA was extracted and
authenticated by amplification of the ITS1 and ITS2 rDNA intergenic spacer region
followed by sequencing and comparative analysis using the blastn program.
Concurrently, nineteen individuals representing the extant population of P. gigantea
were collected from the Tawau Hills Park, DNA was extracted and authenticated
using the chloroplast DNA tmL-tmF intergenic region. One individual each from P.
dayanum and P. lowii was sampled from Kinabalu National Park. A genomic library
enriched for microsatellite lod from these four orchids was constructed using the 5'
anchored PeR technique, followed by ligation of the PCR amplicons onto a TOPO TA
pCR 2.1 plasmid, transformation of constructs. into competent TOP 10F' E. coli,
screening for positive transformants, plasmid extraction, purification and DNA
sequendng. A total of 95 sequences containing 212 microsatellite loci and cryptic
simple repeats were isolated and deposited at the NCBI GenBank. Specific primer
pairs were designed to amplify the microsatellite loci, and applied to characterize the
population genetic structure. In P. gigantea, 30 polymorphic primer pairs defined 78
alleles. The averages of the observed and expected heterozygosity were 0.3544 to
0.4910. The Fsr value ranged from 0.1174 to 1.000 with an average of 0.6294,
indicating a high level of genetic variability within the mixed population. In the case
study of P. rothschildianum, 24 of the 30 primer pairs exhibited polymorphism. The
averages of the observed and expected heterozygosity were 0.3800 and 0.4533
respectively. The mean FsT value was 0.5098 indicating genetic diversity. within the
total population, however the mean F1s value was 0.8766, implying that there is a
deficiency of level of heterozygosity. A test for cross amplification was conducted to
determine the degree of genomic similarity within the genus Paphiopedilum indicated
that very little homology exists between genomes of the three species examined.
This is in accordance with karyotype analysis data, which indicates that the species In
island ecosystems of. which one representative is Borneo, have evolved into distinct
species as a result of speciation events involving reduction in chromosome numbers.
The study has concluded that both the endangered species being investigated exhibit
a reduced genetic diversity and warrant categorization as ESUs for the purpose of
conservation and has recommended a strategy for the conservation and maintenance
of current diversity levels by complying with the scientific breeding strategies that are
delineated within the contents of this study. The focus of this investigation has been
to develop a strategic approach for the conservation of the endangered endemic
species of Sabah, Malaysia with the objective of developing a scientific and pragmatic
approach for the conservation of a diverse range of species in addition to orchids.
Developing a statutory framework for conservation involves the consolidation of
legislative guidelines and scientific data. This comprehensive study will form the basis
of future research investigations into the wide range of genetically diverse Malaysian
endemic species

No full textDissertação (mestrado)—Universidade de Brasília, Instituto de Letras, Departamento de Teoria Literária e Literaturas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura, 2019.Esta dissertação lida com duas obras literárias: K. – Relato de uma busca, do brasileiro Bernardo Kucinski, e Algo : Preto, do francês Jacques Roubaud. A partir de duas perspectivas diversas, as obras aqui analisadas surgem da perda de alguém amado e se tornam monumentos em memória desses entes perdidos. Assim, o objetivo desse trabalho é, por meio do estudo comparativo das obras, analisar como esses textos literários se configuram enquanto uma espécie de lápide, compondo parte dos ritos funerários e compreender como isso se relaciona com o luto. Para isso, o presente trabalho terá como referencial teórico obras de teoria e crítica literária, filosóficas, psicanalíticas, antropológicas, estudos de memória e obras literárias, contando com autores como Paul Ricouer, Jeanne Marie Gagnebin, Sigmund Freud, Arnold Van Gennep, Aleida Assman, Francis Yates, David Grossman e Franz Kafka.Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES).This research analyses two literary pieces: K. - Relato de uma busca, by the Brazilian
author Bernardo Kucinski, and Algo : Preto, by the French author Jacques Roubaud.
From two different perspectives, the pieces analyzed come from the loss of loved
ones and become monuments in memoriam of them. Therefore, by comparing the
pieces, the goal of this work is to analyze how these literary texts present themselves
rather like tombstones, being part of funeral rites and understanding how this relates
with mourning. In order to achieve this goal, thinkers such as Paul Ricoeur, Jeanne
Marie Gagnebin, Sigmund Freud, Arnold Van Gennep, Aleida Assman, Francis
Yates, David Grossman and Franz Kafka mainly compose the theoretical framework
of this paper
