MITOCHONDRIAL DNA VARIATION IN THE ENDANGERED FISH DAWKINSIA TAMBRAPARNIEI (ACTINOPTERYGII: CYPRINIFORMES: CYPRINIDAE) FROM SOUTHERN WESTERN GHATS, INDIA

Mitochondrial DNA variation in the endangered fish Dawkinsia tambraparniei (Actinopterygii: Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae) from southern Western Ghats, India

Background.Dawkinsia tambraparniei (Silas, 1954) is confined to an area not exceeding 100 km2 within a single watershed—the Tamiraparani River, southern Western Ghats, India.Its populations have recently declined, earning the fish the endangered status.For effective conservation efforts it is important to determine the levels of genetic v

A thermoelasticity solution for thick cylinders subjected to thermo-mechanical loads under various boundary conditions

In this paper, a thermoelasticity solution for steady state response of thick cylinders which are subjected to pressure and external heat flux in inner surface is presented.Displacement field obeys the kinematics of the first order shear deformation theory (FSDT).It is assumed that the temperature varies both along the length and the thickness.The
