Let G be a graph. Let f : V (G) → {0, 1, 2, …, k-1} be a map where k ∈ ℕ and k > 1. For each edge uv, assign the label |f(u) - f(v)|. f is called k-total difference cordial labeling of G if |t_df (i) - t_df (j) | ≤ 1, i, j ∈ {0, 1, 2, …, k - 1} where t_df (x) denotes the total number of vertices and the edges labeled with x. A graph with admits a k-total difference cordial labeling is called k-total difference cordial graphs. In this paper we investigate the 4-total difference cordial labeling behaviour of shell butterfly graph, Lilly graph, Shackle graphs etc..

Domoic acid, and amnesic shellfish poison, is a neurotoxin frequently found in shellfishes. Guidance level for the consumable shellfish has been established as $20\;{\mu}g$ domoic acid/g by Health and Welfare Canada and U.S. FDA. Domoic acid is produced by pennate diatom, a Nitzschia pungens f. multiseries ingested by the shellfish. Content of domoic acid in shellfish samples collected along the Korean shoreline from May to December of 1999 was analyzed. The collection included 1 Gastropoda (Murex shell) and 11 Bivalvias (oyster, little neck clam, orient hard clam, venus clam, surf clam, ark shell, hard-shelled mussel, pen shell, jack-knife clam, pink butterfly shell, and granulated ark shell). Samples were homogenized, extracted with 50% methanol, filtered, and analyzed by reversed-phase liquid chromatography at 242 nm with mobile phase consisting of 10% acetonitrile and 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid. Recovery of the HPLC analysis was 95.80% (${\pm}1.09$). All tested samples showed no domoic acid at the detection limit of 50 ng/g.

The purpose of this study was to determine the extent of domoic acid (DA) a potent neurotoxin, responsible for the syndrome amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP) contamination of various species of bivalve shellfish purchased from fish market in Korea and the implications for food safety. Liquid chromatography (LC) methods were applied to quantify DA in shellfish after sample clean-up using solid-phase extraction (SPE) with strong anion exchange (SAX) cartridges. Toxin detection was achieved using photodiode array ultraviolet (LC-UV) and electrospray ionization-mass (LC-ESI-MS). DA was identified in 4 bivalve shellfishes of 872 shellfishes collected from March, 2006 to October, 2007 in Korea. DA amount of 3 surf clams (Mactra veneriformis) collected at Seoul, Daejeon, and Daegu were 4.13, 1.99, and 1.94 mg/kg, respectively. DA amount of 1 pink butterfly shell (Peronidia venulosa) collected at Seoul was 3.02 mg DA/kg. The amounts of DA that were present in 4 bivalve shellfishes were within EU guideline limits for sale of shellfish (20 mg DA/kg).
