    Abstract: Magnetic survey is usually used to delineate magnetic-structural lineaments, analyze their relationships to the inherited ductile fabrics and estimate the depth of perturbing body sources, probably granitic intrusions. These were conducted on the total magnetic intensity reduced to the pole map as well as First vertical derivative and Euler deconvo... Show More

    Abstract: Cnidarians (e.g. coral reefs) are among some of the most diverse and highly productive coastal ecosystems in tropical and subtropical regions. Microbes play pivotal roles in maintaining this productivity and are directly responsible for the well-being of a coral-based ecosystem. Microbes have important ecological functions in this ecosystem. With t... Show More
