Background: The occurrence of faecal pathogens in drinking water resources constitutes a threat to the supply of safe drinking water, even in industrialized nations. To efficiently assess and monitor the risk posed by these pathogens, sampling deserves careful design, based on preliminary knowledge ...
In contrast to dominant mode of ecological transition in the evolution of marine mammals, different lineages of toothed whales (Odontoceti) have repeatedly invaded freshwater ecosystems during the Cenozoic era. The so-called ‘river dolphins’ are now recognized as independent lineages that converged ...
Because the information security risk assessment have the problem of less training data and slow convergence rate, we put forward a information security risk assessment model based on support vector machine (SVM) using artificial fish swarm algorithm (AFSA). In this paper, we used weekly security report ...
Background: Over-reliance on convenience foods, including ready-meals, has been suggested as one contributor to obesity. Little research has systematically explored the nutritional content of supermarket ready-meals. We described the nutritional content and cost of UK supermarket ready-meals. Methods: ...
Mercury is utilized worldwide in artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) and may pose a risk for miners and mining communities. While a number of studies have characterized mercury in ASGM communities, most have focused on a single media and few have taken a holistic approach. Here, a multiple ...
Aggressive mimicry is an adaptive tactic of parasitic or predatory species that closely resemble inoffensive models in order to increase fitness via predatory gains. Although similarity of distantly related species is often intuitively implicated with mimicry, the exact mechanisms and evolutionary causes ...
The emergence of the steroid system is coupled to the evolution of multicellular animals. In vertebrates in particular, the steroid receptor repertoire has been shaped by genome duplications characteristic to this lineage. Here, we investigate for the first time the composition of the androgen receptor–signaling ...
Objective: To investigate the role of dietary intake in the development of premature acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in a hospital-based Pakistani population in Karachi. Methods: In a case control study, 203 consecutive patients (146 males and 57 females) with their first AMI and age below 45 years ...
Myxozoans are an economically important group of microscopic parasites best known for the diseases they cause in commercially important fish hosts. The classification of myxosporeans is generally based on the morphology of their myxospores. Without molecular data, it is very difficult to identify new ...
The following topics are dealt with: e-commerce data harvesting; collaborative emergency response system; cervical cell images; sustainable fishery industry; maintenance contract; video games; marketing strategy; inventory model; sign language system; rodent tuber plant; knowledge management; path tracking; ...
Despite significant advances in chemical ecology, the biodistribution, temporal changes and ecological function of most marine secondary metabolites remain unknown. One such example is the association between choline esters and Tyrian purple precursors in muricid molluscs. Mass spectrometry imaging ...
This study aims to give better understanding of social media use in crisis communication between different maritime operators and authorities in the EU area. Study is based on several articles, recommendations and guidelines of different EU Member state authorities, and previous studies on crisis management ...
Underwater part of ship's and boat's hull is affected by marine biofouling which are adhering on it. Fouling of underwater part of hull is huge problem in shipping causing speed reduction and higher maintenance cost. Adhering of marine biofouling organisms can be reduced or eliminated applying antifouling ...
The paper addresses the evaluation of wave energy absorption at a fishing pier in the town of Balneário Arroio do Silva, coastal south region of Brazil. This study considers the use of oscillating-water-column (OWC) converters composed by tubes tied to the pillars of the pier. In order to evaluate ...
Presents the table of contents/splash page of the proceedings record.
Diving is a high-risk activity due to the hazardous environment, dependence on technical equipment for life support, complexity of underwater navigation, and limited monitoring from the surface. This article describes a new concept of using an autonomous surface vehicle (ASV) as a private satellite ...
The recent miniaturization of acoustic tracking devices has allowed fishery managers and scientists to collect spatial and temporal data for sustainable fishery management. The spatial and temporal dimensions of fish behavior (movement and/or vertical migrations) are particularly relevant for rockfishes ...
Abstract Mutations in a voltage-gated sodium channel (SCN1A) result in Dravet Syndrome (DS), a catastrophic childhood epilepsy. Zebrafish with a mutation in scn1Lab recapitulate salient phenotypes associated with DS, including seizures, early fatality, and resistance to antiepileptic drugs. To discover ...
A single Brachionus rotifer can consume thousands of algae cells per hour causing an algae pond to crash within days of infection. Thus, there is a great need to reduce rotifers in order for algal biofuel production to become reality. Copper can selectively inhibit rotifers in algae ponds, thereby protecting ...
Introduction: The eradication of a human infectious disease is a major challenge and, if achieved, represents a enormous achievement. This article explores the long and difficult journey towards eradication for polio and guinea worm. Methods: The authors reviewed the programmatic approaches taken in ...
