PREDATOR ENVIRONMENT DOES NOT PREDICT LIFE HISTORY IN THE MORPHOLOGICALLY CONSTRAINED FISH ALFARO CULTRATUS (CYPRINODONTIFORMES: POECILIIDAE)

Predator Environment Does Not Predict Life History in the Morphologically Constrained Fish Alfaro cultratus (Cyprinodontiformes: Poeciliidae)

Predation is known to have a significant effect on life history diversification in a variety of species.However, physical constraints of body shape and size can sometimes limit life history divergence.We test this idea in the Costa Rican livebearing fish Alfaro cultratus.Individuals in this species have a narrow body and keeled ventral surface, and

Probabilistic Assessment of Degree of Bending in Tubular X-Joints of Offshore Structures Subjected to Bending Loads

Fatigue life of tubular joints in offshore structures is significantly influenced by the degree of bending (DoB).The DoB exhibits considerable scatter calling for greater emphasis in accurate determination of its governing probability distribution which is a key input for the fatigue reliability analysis of a tubular joint.Although the tubular X-jo
