The aim of this study was to characterise nutritional-I status in Malawi. Dietary-I intakes were assessed using new datasets of crop, fish, salt and water-I concentrations, while I status was assessed for 60 women living on each of calcareous and non-calcareous soils as defined by urinary iodine concentration ...
Digital technology is changing nature conservation in increasingly profound ways. We describe this impact and its significance through the concept of ‘digital conservation’, which we found to comprise five pivotal dimensions: data on nature, data on people, data integration and analysis, communication ...
Environmental changes and human activities can have strong impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. This study investigates how, from a quantitative point of view, simultaneously both environmental and anthropogenic factors affect species composition and abundance of exploited groundfish assemblages ...
The tunicate Ciona intestinalis is an opportunistic invader with high potential for causing economic losses in aquaculture centers. Recent phylogenetic and population genetic analysis support the existence of a genetic complex described as C. intestinalis with two main dominant species (sp A and B) ...
Grazing-induced plant defences that reduce palatability to herbivores are widespread in terrestrial plants and seaweeds, but they have not yet been reported in seagrasses. We investigated the ability of two seagrass species to induce defences in response to direct grazing by three associated mesograzers. ...
The Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei is the dominant crustacean species in global seafood mariculture. Understanding the genome and genetic architecture is useful for deciphering complex traits and accelerating the breeding program in shrimp. In this study, a genome survey was conducted and ...
The compiled data for this study represents the first Atlantic and Mediterranean-wide effort to pool all available biometric data for Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) with the collaboration of many countries and scientific groups. Biometric relationships were based on an extensive sampling (over ...
Despite the use of several Weissella (W.) strains for biotechnological and probiotic purposes, certain species of this genus were found to act as opportunistic pathogens, while strains of W. ceti were recognized to be pathogenic for farmed rainbow trout. Herein, we investigated the pathogenic potential ...
Abstract Extracted natural and associated petroleum gases contain water vapor, amount of which is determined by pressure, temperature, gas composition and salinity degree of formation water. The amount of water vapor in natural gas is regulated, because the moisture can condense in technological pipelines ...
Abstract The abstract describes one possible approach to complex account environmental factors to determine the sensitivity of shoreline bays of the White Sea to the oil spill, proposed integral index of the sensitivity of coastal areas, taking into account the relationship of geological and geomorphological ...
Abstract Adequate and efficient environmental monitoring is a key element of the environmental risk reduction process in the Oil & Gas industry, all the more where sensitive areas in harsh environmental conditions are at stake. This is the case in remote and extreme cold places such as the Arctic, ...
Background Iberian Leuciscinae are greatly diverse comprising taxa of hybrid origin. With highly conservative karyotypes, Iberian Chondrostoma s.l. have recently demonstrated sub-chromosomal differentiation and rapid genome restructuring in natural hybrids, which was confirmed by ribosomal DNA (rDNA) ...
Antifreeze (glyco)proteins are found in polar fish species and act to slow the rate of growth of ice crystals; a property known as ice recrystallization inhibition. The ability to slow ice growth is of huge technological importance especially in the cryopreservation of donor cells and tissue, but native ...
The pdf file of this paper is in Russian. A case study of a gas-condensate field located on the northeastern shelf of Sakhalin Island demonstrates the possibility of development of condensate-containing gas reserves by drilling very long ERD wells (drilling from the shore). The development system described ...
Abstract High OM shale formations are common in almost all sedimentary basins from the Cambrian to the Neogene period in Russia. Typical unconventional resource of oil and gas in Volga-Urals basin of Russian platform belongs to the deposits of Domanik complex, which is developed in undercompensated ...
With the growing numbers of aging wellbores, recompletion programs help to reduce temporarily abandoned well counts, identify and prove future development potential, boost production and maximize return on investment. Typically base well completion programs have been composed of four main project types: ...
Objective To present the co-creation of a whiteboard animation video, an enhanced e-storytelling technique for relaying traditional knowledge interview results as narratives. Design We present a design for translating interview results into a script and accompanying series of figures, followed by ...
Abstract A case study of a gas-condensate field located on the northeastern shelf of Sakhalin Island demonstrates the possibility of development of condensate-containing gas reserves by drilling very long ERD wells (drilling from the shore). The development system described in the paper includes drilling ...
Abstract The aim of the present study was to evaluate the chemical quality parameters regarding frozen Pangasius hypophthalmus specimens from Vietnam. The proximate composition, pH, ammonia, biogenic amines ( BAs), total mercury (Hg), malondialdehyde ( MDA), and polyphosphate were determined. The moisture, ...
Little is known of how to involve families in physical activity (PA) interventions for children. In this cluster randomized controlled trial, we recruited families with four- to seven-year-old children to participate in a year-long study where parents in the intervention group families (n = 46) received ...
