Algal blooms cause great damage to water quality and aquaculture. However, this study showed that dead algal cells and chlorophyll could accelerate the photo-transformation of benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), a ubiquitous and persistent pollutant with potently mutagenic and carcinogenic toxicities, under visible ...
A sample preparation method based on ultrasound assisted-extraction (UAE) of Ca, Mg and P from swine feed has been described. The experiment was performed to cover the variables influencing the sonication process and, the method validation using standard reference material. Final solutions obtained ...
YY super-males have rarely been detected in nature and only been artificially created in some fish species including tilapia and yellow catfish (Pelteobagrusfulvidraco), which provides a promising model for testis development and spermatogenesis. In our previous study, significant differences in morphology ...
Data are the foundation of empirical research, yet all too often the datasets underlying published papers are unavailable, incorrect, or poorly curated. This is a serious issue, because future researchers are then unable to validate published results or reuse data to explore new ideas and hypotheses. ...
Summary Choline is ubiquitous in marine eukaryotes and appears to be widely distributed in surface marine waters; however, its metabolism by marine bacteria is poorly understood. Here, using comparative genomics and molecular genetic approaches, we reveal that the capacity for choline catabolism is ...
Abstract Oil and gas exploration and production in Nigeria is geared towards meeting the energy need of its populace and also generate revenue. However, oil field chemicals used in oil and gas activities are sources of environmental pollution, causing various degrees of harm especially to the aquatic ...
Many species of fish rely on their visual systems to interact with conspecifics and these interactions can lead to collective behavior. Individual-based models have been used to predict collective interactions; however, these models generally make simplistic assumptions about the sensory systems that ...
Abstract The Mowry Shale is a late-Albian, light-gray, siliceous shale deposited in the Cretaceous Interior Seaway and is an important source rock in several Wyoming basins. An evaluation of the Mowry Shale resource potential was conducted on the Casper Arch in Natrona County, WY. This evaluation incorporated ...
Salmon and other anadromous fish are consumed by vertebrates with distinct life history strategies to capitalize on this ephemeral pulse of resource availability. Depending on the timing of salmon arrival, this resource may be in surplus to the needs of vertebrate consumers if, for instance, their populations ...
Given the fact that most literature on the activities of the Oil Multinational Corporations (MNCs) in Niger Delta region focuses on corporate inattentiveness to the needs of the communities and the chronic corporate and government socioeconomic irresponsibility, this study used Stakeholder theory and ...
Tentacles armed with stinging cells (cnidocytes) are a defining trait of the cnidarians, a phylum that includes sea anemones, corals, jellyfish, and hydras. While cnidarian tentacles are generally characterized as structures evolved for feeding and defense, significant variation exists between the tentacles ...
Background Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative disorder characterized by the presence of a derivative chromosome 22 [der(22)] commonly called Philadelphia chromosome (Ph). The Ph chromosome is a product of the reciprocal translocation t(9;22)(q34.1;q11.2). Additional genetic changes ...
For countries where nutrition surveys are infrequent, there is a need to have some measure of healthful eating to plan and evaluate interventions. This study shows how it is possible to develop healthful eating indicators based on dietary guidelines from a cross sectional population survey. Adults 18 ...
The ever-increasing threat from infectious diseases and the development of insecticide resistance in mosquito populations drive the global search for new natural insecticides. The aims of this study were to evaluate the mosquitocidal activity of the extracts of seaweed Bryopsis pennata against dengue ...
Aquareoviruses are serious pathogens of aquatic animals. Here, genome characterization and functional gene analysis of a novel aquareovirus, largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides reovirus (MsReV), was described. It comprises 11 dsRNA segments (S1–S11) covering 24,024 bp, and encodes 12 putative proteins ...
Lake Sayram is an ancient cold water lake locating at a mountain basin in Xinjiang, China. The lake water is brackish, alkaline, unpolluted, and abundant in SO42− and Mg2+. The lacustrine ecosystem of Lake Sayram has been intensely investigated. However, profiles of the microbial communities in the ...
Most studies showing that children consuming breakfast have better nutrient intakes, diet quality, and lower weight than breakfast skippers have the incorrect premise that breakfast meals are homogeneous. The purpose of this study was to classify breakfast meals into patterns and determine the association ...
In this research, it has been designed a continuous water quality monitoring system consisting of sensors for measuring Dissolved Oxygen (DO) and pH, data acquisition based on a PCDuino microcontroller, a sample collection unit, and PC based graphical display. The main part of the system is the PCDuino ...
• For better policy planning of adaptation under the influence of climate change, a good process design which engages experts with technical and local knowledge is vital for the success of adaptation since the complexity and uncertainty of the climate change impacts and the inter-disciplinary cooperation ...
