Many prey fishes possess large club cells in their epidermis. The role of these cells has garnered considerable attention from evolutionary ecologists. These cells likely form part of the innate immune system of fishes, however, they also have an alarm function, releasing chemical cues that serve to ...
The aim of this study was to determine the level of anesthesia attained in Carassius auratus using a propofol bath administration and using values of haematological profile of blood and examinations, to assess the effects of the fish exposure to that anaesthetic. Acute toxicity values of propofol for ...
Transposable elements are major constituents of eukaryote genomes and have a great impact on genome structure and stability. They can contribute to the genetic diversity and evolution of organisms. Knowledge of their distribution among several genomes is an essential condition to study their dynamics ...
Recent expeditions have revealed high levels of biodiversity in the tropical deep-sea, yet little is known about the age or origin of this biodiversity, and large-scale molecular studies are still few in number. In this study, we had access to the largest number of solariellid gastropods ever collected ...
Simple Summary This review provides an inventory of numerous plant species used as traditional remedies for pain and diarrhea in Africa. Africa can emulate advances in traditional Chinese medicine through research, commercialization, teaching traditional medicine in medical schools, and incorporating ...
Nutrients and other bioactive constituents of foods may interact with each other and the surrounding food matrix in complex ways. Therefore, associations between single nutrients and chronic disease may be difficult to identify and interpret, but when dietary patterns (DPs) are examined the combination ...
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are host defense peptides that are well conserved throughout the course of evolution. Histones are classical DNA-binding proteins, rich in cationic amino acids, and recently appreciated as precursors for various histone-derived AMPs. The present study deals with identification ...
Background Different healthy food patterns may modify cardiometabolic risk. We investigated the effects of an isocaloric healthy Nordic diet on insulin sensitivity, lipid profile, blood pressure and inflammatory markers in people with metabolic syndrome. Methods We conducted a randomized dietary ...
Small scale reciprocal sound propagation was carried out at Hashirimizu port in front of Tokyo Bay, Japan. A pair of the transducers with the distance about 120 m was set at the bank of the port. The average depth at the area is about 4 m. There were so many surface and bottom reflections. In this study, ...
Water is one of the major commodities used by the pharmaceutical industry. It may be present as an excipient or used for reconstitution of products during synthesis, during production of the finished product or as cleaning agent for rinsing vessels, equipment, primary packaging materials etc. Once water ...
Discriminating between genetic and environmental causes of phenotypic variation is an essential requirement for understanding the evolutionary potential of populations. However, the extent to which genetic variation differs among conspecific groups and environments during ontogeny has rarely been investigated. ...
Background Bacterial DNA is well-known for its potent immunostimulatory properties which have been attributed to the abundance of CpG dinucleotides within the genomes of prokaryotes. Research has found that mammalian TLR9 is a receptor which mediates the immune response to CpG DNA; however, its functional ...
Background The use of ethnoecological tools to evaluate possible damage and loss of biodiversity related to the populations of species under some degree of threat may represent a first step towards integrating the political management of natural resources and conservation strategies. From this perspective, ...
The rise in global temperature and unpredictable storms including tsunamis which could eventually affects the ocean ecosystems, fishing community, and consequently the raising ocean levels rising. These effects in turn has the impact on changing the Potential fishing zones which directly affects the ...
Sonar and array technologies have been developed over more than 100 years. This paper gives an exposition of the demands of today to sonar technologies in particular dictated by their applications. While multibeam sonar is discussed more in depth, other sonar types like side-scan, synthetic aperture ...
Active acoustic monitoring system using a dual frequency identification sonar (DIDSON) is applied for the follow-up observation of aquatic biota after Hydrilla verticillata planting. The field experiment was performed in a small pond adjacent to Lake Izunuma (northern latitude of 38.43 degrees and east ...
The Citizen Science refers to the public participation in scientific activities and research projects related with environment and its biodiversity are taking advantage of new technologies such us internet and mobile phones with recording capabilities for an easy data collection and sharing. In this ...
A remote laboratory is a software and hardware tool which enables students to use real equipment -located in an educational institution- through the Internet. This way, students can experiment as if they were using the laboratories with their own hands. There are usually two approaches when designing ...
Urban agriculture has become widespread in most cities in recent years. A wide variety of plants and livestock have been adapted to the limitations of the urban environment. Obvious benefits include nutrition, education, recreation, sustainability and supplemental income. Obstacles include financing, ...
Diel vertical migration (DVM) is often assumed to encompass an entire population. However, bimodal nighttime vertical distributions have been observed in various taxa. Mysid shrimp populations also display this pattern with one group concentrated in the pelagia and the other near the bottom. This may ...
