Abstract Classification of the Class Echinoidea is under significant revision in light emerging molecular phylogenetic evidence. In particular, sister-group relationships within superorder Luminacea (Echinoidea: Irregularia) have been considerably updated. However, placement many families remains largely unresolved due to a series incongruent evidence obtained from morphological, paleontological, and genetic data for majority extant representatives. this study, we investigated 25 taxa,...
This paper presents a high efficiency buck converter with wide load current range. To improve the in range, dual-mode of PWM and PSM is utilized. The proposed design implemented typical 0.35 μm CMOS process. peak simulated to be 96.76% at 1000 mA. Moreover, higher than 94.80% range from 10 mA Besides, switched smoothly between by effective reliable control logic circuit.
The Indo-West Pacific is home to a diverse array of modern fish species, and the study their fossils can provide valuable insights into origins evolution this biodiversity. This report presents rare remains five individuals acropomatiform fish, including semi-articulated skeleton, recovered from Upper Kueichulin Formation (Lower Pliocene) in northern Taiwan. are preserved form nodules discovered at locality known for abundant marine crustaceans echinoderms. These specimens be assigned family...
ABSTRACT Drillholes on shells provide a useful way to investigate prey and predator relationships. The current study documents predator–prey interactions exemplified by faunal assemblage of the fossil gastropod Turritella cingulifera from Pleistocene Szekou Formation in Hengchun Peninsula, Taiwan. All recognisable skeletal shell fragments that are larger than 3 mm size were collected recorded. Processed bulk sediments (5.24 kg) contained 1462 molluscan shells, including 824 specimens T. , 27...
Abundant fossil specimens of Scaphechinus mirabilis, now occurring mostly in temperate waters, have been found the Toukoshan Formation (Pleistocene) Miaoli County, Taiwan. Environmental changes leading to its extirpation (local extinction) thus far elusive. Here, we reconstruct past environmental and oceanic conditions off northwest Taiwan by analyzing clumped isotopes, as well stable oxygen well-preserved echinoid tests collected from Formation. Radiocarbon dates suggest that these samples...
Schizasterids collectively represent a highly diverse group of irregular echinoids with abundant global fossil and extant records. Despite their wide distribution, the preservation challenges associated delicate thin tests have limited comprehensive studies this in Taiwan. Here, we report new occurrence Schizaster from Gutingkeng Formation (Early Pleistocene). inherent fragility pronounced deformations specimens, key diagnostic characteristics are preserved: heart-shaped test deep ambulacrum...
Cidaroids (Echinoidea: Cidaroida) are the most primitive taxa among extant echinoids. However, relative scarcity of intact cidaroid tests in Cenozoic fossil records poses challenges for understanding their biogeographic patterns and evolutionary trends. This study reports an articulated recovered from Middle Miocene Nangang Formation, representing oldest occurrence this order Taiwan. The specimen exhibits transverse oval confluent areoles, along with distinct, rod-like, spinose primary...
