Background The predictive ability of genomic estimated breeding values (GEBV) originates both from associations between high-density markers and QTL (Quantitative Trait Loci) and from pedigree information. Thus, GEBV are expected to provide more persistent accuracy over successive generations than ...
Background Ecosystem engineers facilitate habitat formation and enhance biodiversity, but when they become invasive, they present a critical threat to native communities because they can drastically alter the receiving habitat. Management of such species thus needs to be a priority, but the poorly ...
Background There are currently no purification methods capable of producing the large amounts of fish rhabdoviral glycoprotein G (gpG) required for diagnosis and immunisation purposes or for studying structure and molecular mechanisms of action of this molecule (ie. pH-dependent membrane fusion). As ...
The class Ascidiacea presents fundamental opportunities for research in the fields of development, evolution, ecology, natural products and more. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the current knowledge regarding the global biodiversity of the class Ascidiacea, focusing in their taxonomy, ...
In this study, we developed 20 polymorphic microsatellite markers for the Korean black scraper, Thamnaconus modestus (Günther, 1877), Monacanthidae, and used them to compare allelic variation between wild and hatchery populations in Korea. All loci were readily amplified and demonstrated allelic variability, ...
Background A virus was isolated from diseased turbot Scophthalmus maximus in China. Biophysical and biochemical assays, electron microscopy, and genome electrophoresis revealed that the virus belonged to the genus Aquareovirus, and was named Scophthalmus maximus reovirus (SMReV). To the best of our ...
We have identified an environmental bacterium in the Candidate Division TM7 with ≥98.5% 16S rDNA gene homology to a group of TM7 bacteria associated with the human oral cavity and skin. The environmental TM7 bacterium (referred to as TM7a-like) was readily detectable in wastewater with molecular techniques ...
Background The goal of this study was to investigate ERBB2(HER2) and EGFR gene amplification and protein expression in gastric cancer. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and immunohistochemistry were used to analyze ERBB2 and EGFR gene amplification and protein expression in 69 cases of gastric ...
ABSTRACT: In this study a four cage grid mooring system is presented and a set of equations of motion for this flotation structure are derived. The purpose of this study is to investigate the hydrodynamic behaviors of four-cage grid mooring system under wave actions using numerical model. The numerical ...
ABSTRACT: For the implementation of sustainable land development, strengthening ocean, coastal areas resource conservation and management of land use, "The Draft of National Land Planning Act" and "The Draft of Coastal Act" were performed by Construction and Planning Agency in Taiwan. The utilization ...
ABSTRACT: Rhode Island's Coastal Resources Management Council (CRMC) has been leading an Ocean Special Area Management Plan (SAMP) resulting in zoning of the state's coastal water to accommodate offshore wind farms. The wind farm siting issue has been previously considered as an optimization problem ...
ABSTRACT: To monitor the sea ice dynamic changes using the SAR imagery in polar region, we proposed an oriented-object regional segmentation and dynamic objects identification method. This method included the sea ice and open water discrimination, sea ice types classification, sea ice objects identification ...
ABSTRACT: Recently, fishery products have been decreased in the Seto Inland Sea located at the western part of Japan. One of these reasons is decrease of seagrass and seaweed beds such as Zostera marina, Sargassum and so on. The valuable marine resources are using Zostera marina beds as spawning and ...
ABSTRACT: In the case of rearing some kinds of fishes that have hiding behavior in the floating aquaculture preserves, a number of fish decreases due to the stress from irregular movement of floating preserves caused by the irregular and continuous ocean waves. Therefore, we developed one method that ...
ABSTRACT: Seasonal sand accumulation problem in Kirinda fishery harbour is well known problem among the harbours in Sri Lanka. To elucidate the possible sand transport patterns close to the harbour area, wave climate study was carried out using SWAN modeling system. After analyzing global reanalysis ...
ABSTRACT: In order to improve water quality in the harbor together with the wave absorption, the slit type breakwater and seawall were developed. Laboratory experiments have been performed to investigate the weak reflection of regular and random water waves over a train of protruded permeable shore ...
ABSTRACT: This paper presents a numerical experiment of single low-density sphere falling into the water from the air. A sphere with initial speed in the air was released above the water surface, splashes and waves will be generated when it touched the water; after that, it jumped above water because ...
ABSTRACT: In 2009, a typhoon named Morakot moved onto Taiwan and brought torrential rains that washed down huge amount of driftwood into the sea and accumulation at the coastal areas. By the analysis of satellite images, it is found that 83.2% coastlines of Taiwan were occupied by driftwood after Morakot. ...
ABSTRACT: Ice management using icebreakers to reduce floe size ahead of a stationary drilling vessel will be a key component of offshore Arctic exploration and development drilling. Selection of the management vessels and fleet deployment configuration is critical to insure the ability to (1) maintain ...
ABSTRACT: Distortion is unavoidable in all stage of ship building starting from the thermal cutting process followed by the sub-assembly, the assembly of blocks and the block final assembly. In this report, the longitudinal bending deformation of a ship during the block assembly is investigated using ...
