Two new species of free-living marine nematodes from mangrove wetlands of Beihai, Guangxi province in China, are described and illustrated. Trissonchulus sinensis sp. nov. is characterized by a head continuous with the body, an amphidial fovea pouch-shaped, pharynx expanding gradually but not forming a posterior bulb, spicules sclerotized, blade-shaped, slightly curved ventrally, proximal part enlarged with a prominent central...

Rubber isolators are usually used to protect high-precision equipment of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), avoiding damage from overlarge dynamic excitation. Considering the nonlinear properties of the rubber material, the nonlinear behavior of rubber isolators under shock exaltation is hard to be predict accurately without the available modal and accurate parameters. In view of this, the present study proposes a nonlinea...
