The efficacy of praziquantel for the treatment of Schistosoma japonicum in humans is reported from a cross-sectional survey conducted in 33 villages in Sichuan Province. Infection prevalence was found to be 5.7% (185 infected of 3,269 tested) in a region where 44–73% prevalence was found 9 years before. ...
Mollusk shell formation is a fascinating aspect of biomineralization research. Shell matrix proteins play crucial roles in the control of calcium carbonate crystallization during shell formation in the pearl oyster, Pinctada fucata. Characterization of biomineralization-related genes during larval development ...
Data collected from 12 stations in Daya Bay in different seasons in 2002 revealed the relation between water quality and phytoplankton response patterns. The results showed that Daya Bay could be divided into wet and dry seasons by multivariate statistical analysis. Principal component analysis indicated ...
Over the global oceans (Indian, Pacific, and Atlantic), fish schools are identified using remote sensing, combining sea surface temperature (SST) and chlorophyll. Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer-derived SST and Indian Remote Sensing Satellite-P4 Ocean Color Monitor-derived chlorophyll concentration ...
Situational awareness and prediction are essential elements of information fusion. Both involve various types of uncertainty and require a sound automated inferential process. Probabilistic ontologies support uncertainty management in se-mantically aware systems, and facilitate modular, interoperable ...
Shape is an important cue for object recognition, While previous research on shape classification uses all parts of a feature set (e.g. contour segments, skeleton paths), we define distinctive parts that tell an object from objects of a different type. Our approach to analyze distinctive part is based ...
Malaysia is one of the very environmentally rich countries in the world. At present, her traditions and heritage have been facing with numerous environmental problems such as air pollution, water pollution, exploitation of natural resources etc. Although, there are some historic states in Malaysia listed ...
In order to conserve and protect marine life, the Government of Malaysia has gazetted a total of 40 islands as marine parks. All activities that disrupt the stability of the marine eco-system are prohibited. This includes fishing which is the main occupation of communities on these islands. This policy ...
According to the ant colony algorithm in many ants to find the optimal path need long time or hard to find the optimal path from the path of desultorily, and the contradiction between the shortcomings of accelerating convergence and premature stagnation phenomenon, puts forward a new bionic optimization ...
Currently catfish suppliers, wholesalers, farmers and customers in Malaysia have not found an official place or medium to get information on catfish (breeding, marketing, managing, purchasing) in a simple, fast and cost effective way. In addition, based on analysis conducted the use of information technology ...
Increasing number of catfish farmers had caused overloaded stocks of catfish in the market. Therefore it poses great problem to catfish farmers. Aside from those issues, based on analysis conducted Lembaga Kemajuan Ikan Malaysia (LKIM) research results had found that the catfish farmers are not getting ...
The following topics are dealt with: smart city; sustainable city; public transport systems; urban spaces eco-design; bottom up urban simulation; campus maps; virtual situated environment; interpolation motion compensation method; digital evolutionary modeling; Ethernet simulation; triangle rasterization; ...
Background The Coral Triangle (CT), bounded by the Philippines, the Malay Peninsula, and New Guinea, is the epicenter of marine biodiversity. Hypotheses that explain the source of this rich biodiversity include 1) the center of origin, 2) the center of accumulation, and 3) the region of overlap. Here ...
An investigation into the influence of temperature on the growth and reproductive status of the fathead minnow Pimephales promelas revealed that, while there was no clear effect of treatment on sex differentiation, ovarian tissue from female fish reared under the highest temperature regime contained ...
Aims: Amplification of the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) gene has been reported in gastric carcinoma (GC). Accordingly, trastuzumab plus chemotherapy has recently become the new standard treatment for HER2-positive advanced GCs. The aim was to compare the alleged gold standard for ...
In fisheries industry, sampling of fish length is the main criteria to identify fish reproduction, recruitment, growth and mortality. Current sampling measuring process to identify fish length was done manually using traditional equipment. This process took a lot of time and cost overflowing. Therefore, ...
On account of subtropical micro-polluted raw water, adopting biological treatment technology in water purification process is suitable. Through engineering projects and experiments comparison, this paper analyzes the characteristics and applicable conditions of three kinds of water advanced purification ...
Mesoscale cyclonic activity is one of the characteristics of the cold season in the Japan Sea. High winds and precipitation accompanying intense mesoscale cyclones (MCs) disturb transport and fishery operations in the sea and small sizes and fast development hinders their forecast and detection. Satellite ...
Spaceborne monitoring of wide maritime areas can be suitable for many applications such as tracking of ship traffic, surveillance of fishery zones, or detecting criminal activities. We present novel approaches for segmentation and classification of man-made objects in TerraSAR-X images including estimation ...
ETRI, KARI and Astrium have developed unique Communications, Ocean and Metrological Satellite - COMS to incorporate both Communications and earth observation from single satellite. COMS was launched by Ariane-5 on 26th June 2010 and arrived successfully to operational geo-stationary orbit 128.2°E. It ...
