Fish freshness is an important index of fishes and fish products which indicates their qualities. Rapid detection of fish freshness has very important guiding significance for processing, storage and marketing of fishes and fish products. Aiming at the disadvantages of fish freshness detection techniques ...
The micro-grid technology provides an effective technical approach for the new energy and renewable energy to grid-connect; however, the micro-grid optimal operation is one of the most important and difficult studies. The implementation in CO2 Emissions Trade provides favorable conditions for micro-grid ...
The paper presents notable trends in Ant-based algorithms, which are derived from the biological phenomena of swarm intelligence and social insects. Swarm Intelligence is the collective behavior of self-organizing, decentralized natural/artificial systems viz. flock of birds, ants, bees, school of fish ...
The author states that the manufactures of low-volume high-value analogue components may not necessarily mean a fishing trip to the Far East to get the best deal. It might make better economic sense to have them made on your doorstep, even if you are based in Europe.
Massive historical data are stored in chlorine gas monitoring network. So that prediction algorithm of data mining is used to dig historical data not only can make the redundant data reused, but also can forecast the network trend and improve the network early warning model. The chlorine gas monitoring ...
In this paper we estimate the living carbon lost from Ecuador's mangrove forests since the advent of export-focused shrimp aquaculture. We use remote sensing techniques to delineate the extent of mangroves and aquaculture at approximately decadal periods since the arrival of aquaculture in each Ecuadorian ...
Systems and Control is now a mature subject with a deep mathematical theory and a powerful engineering methodology; its roots lie in antiquity but it emerged in the form of the Watt governor more than two centuries ago as an enabling technology of the Industrial Revolution, and its development since ...
The surveillance of maritime areas is a major topic for security aimed at fighting issues as illegal trafficking, illegal fishing, piracy, etc. In this context, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) has proven to be particularly beneficial due to its all-weather and night time acquisition capabilities. Moreover, ...
In order to set sustainable harvest limits on anadro-mous fish, fishery managers require a method for estimating return numbers of individual species. As seasonal migration times of several returning species may overlap, simple fish counts are insufficient. This paper presents an algorithm for tracking ...
The Montebello archipelago consists of 218 islands; 80 km from the north-west coast of Western Australia. Before 1912 the islands had a diverse terrestrial fauna. By 1952 several species were locally extinct. Between 1996 and 2011 rodents and cats were eradicated, and 5 mammal and 2 bird species were ...
Introducing robotic technology within the diving context is a very promising idea in order to improve and optimize conditions of divers during missions, both in terms of easiness and in terms of safety. In fact, a diver companion robot can support the diver by carrying bulky equipment, helping in various ...
The case of fisheries management illustrates how the inherent structural instability of ecosystems can have deep-running policy implications. We contrast ten types of management plans to achieve maximum sustainable yields (MSY) from multiple stocks and compare their effectiveness based on a management ...
Background Infectious salmon anemia (ISA) is a serious disease of marine farmed Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L. caused by ISA virus (ISAV). ISAV genomic segments 5 and 6 encode surface glycoproteins hemagglutinin-esterase (HE) and F protein important for the pathogenicity of ISAV. In this study, we ...
Background Insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) have proven instrumental in the successful reduction of malaria incidence in holoendemic regions during the past decade. As distribution of ITNs throughout sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is being scaled up, maintaining maximal levels of coverage will be necessary ...
Anguillicola crassus is a swim bladder nematode of eels. The parasite is native to the Asian eel Anguilla japonica, but was introduced to Europe and the European eel Anguilla anguilla in the early 1980s. A Taiwanese source has been proposed for this introduction. In the new host in the recipient area, ...
Background Because agriculture and offshore oil extraction are significant economic activities in the southern Gulf of Mexico, high concentrations of nutrients and hydrocarbons are expected. As parasite communities are sensitive to environmental impacts, these contaminants should have an effect on ...
Background Although Daphnia is increasingly recognized as a model for ecological genomics and biomedical research, there is, as of yet, no high-resolution genetic map for the genus. Such a map would provide an important tool for mapping phenotypes and assembling the genome. Here we estimate the genome ...
Background The NW Aegean Sea has a complex topography, high quality waters, oligotrophic to eutrophic conditions, is connected with estuaries and wetlands, is of high ecological interest, harbours all the types of human activities and yet few researchers work on its marine biodiversity. With this study, ...
Rising atmospheric CO2 is increasing the availability of dissolved CO2 in the ocean relative to HCO3−. Currently, many marine primary producers use HCO3− for photosynthesis, but this is energetically costly. Increasing passive CO2 uptake relative to HCO3− pathways could provide energy savings, leading ...
Background While significant focus has been given to net distribution, little is known about what is done with nets that leave a household, either to be used by others or when they are discarded. To better understand the magnitude of sharing LLIN between households and patterns of discarding LLIN, ...
