Existing research on the role of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) in bivalve reproduction is inadequate, even though a few bivalve GnRH orthologs have been cloned. The objective of this paper was to elucidate the in vivo effect of GnRH administration in Yesso scallop reproduction. We performed ...
The anticipated effects of CO2-induced ocean acidification on marine calcifiers are generally negative, and include dissolution of calcified elements and reduced calcification rates. Such negative effects are not typical of crustaceans for which comparatively little ocean acidification research has ...
Abstract The oil and gas industry recognizes the importance of assessing the oil spill risks associated with its operations and implement measures to manage their risks. Consequences of oil spills are highly dependent of the nature of the release, the amount spilled, the duration, where it occurred ...
Abstract The Directive 2013/30/EU on Safety of offshore Oil&Gas operations is now being implemented into the National legislations of EU member states. The Directive introduces in the legislation concepts and practices similar to those already adopted for onshore major hazard plants in EU Member States ...
Currently, wireless sensor networks with its unique performance also have a wide range of applications in agriculture, industry, aquaculture etc., especially in the production of these industries, wireless sensor networks play an important role. The paper presents the applications of wireless sensor ...
Integrating high performance computing (HPC) into a Tanzanian computer engineering curriculum poses a number of challenges. Those challenges arise partly from the students' educational background, and the country's educational history. In this research, the challenges of integrating HPC into Dar es ...
Semantics plays an important role on spatial scenes building and similarity contrast. Based on the description logic knowledge base (ontology) and multi-layer neural network, this paper simulates the procedure of human perception, measures the semantic similarity between spatial entities. In the Knowledge ...
National administration of surveying, mapping and geoinformatics started to launch the project of national fundamental geographic information database dynamic update in 2012. Among them, the 1:50000 database was updated annually. Furthermore the 1∶250000 database was downsized and linkage-updated on ...
In this study, the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model was applied to simulate pollutant load of the TP and TN of Dongting Lake basin, considering point source and non-point source pollution. Comparison verification was made between water quality monitoring data from Shahekou, Hanshoupotou and ...
Energy is a main factor in developing nations. Energy is almost a must for surviving with dignity. Palestine situation is different from other countries which can import their energy needs from outside. Palestinians are facing a critical shortage in energy due to Israeli Occupation. They must depend ...
Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are deployed in search and rescue operations where it is difficult for divers to reach. During the operation a fleet of AUVs communicate among themselves and exchange two type of information. The first includes control signal which has a low-data rate but has a ...
This paper presents a radio-frequency identification (RFID) aquarium sensing system in order to monitor the parameters of the environments in an aquarium. The system includes tags, readers, antennas, impedance matching circuits, and embedded sensors. The RFID tag is powered by the reader through electromagnetic ...
Wikis delineate a new work tool in enterprises and they are spreading everywhere. Indeed, they are often used as internal documentation for various in-house systems and applications as well as powerful tools for collaboration and knowledge sharing. As occurs with software, the fundamental growth of ...
Multimedia advertising content needs to be assessed before campaign to assure its future success. Content consumption techniques are used to identify user's interest through a determined content, but it needs effective validation. This paper describes the design of a two-fold analysis of video consumption ...
The development of non-invasive methods for fish welfare and contaminant monitoring is of high relevance for the production of high quality and safe farmed fish. We have recently shown the suitability of the Shannon entropy (SE) in a commercially relevant fish system (European seabass, Dicentrarchus ...
This paper presents a combined robotic and external ballistic model to predict the feed pellet distribution pattern across the water surface generated by a pneumatic rotary feed spreader commonly used in sea cage aquaculture. Results from experimental studies have been used to parameterize and validate ...
This paper describes a technological development project in charge of collecting and relaying data using UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) from one or more small, low power, modular sensor nodes that can be placed in remote areas or floating on the water surface. The overall characteristics and architecture ...
Background The results of several papers have confirmed the existence of correlations between an unhealthy diet and the presence of metabolic syndrome. However, relationships between eating habits and metabolic obesity with normal weight have not yet been sufficiently studied. The aim of the study ...
Background The assessment of neurodevelopmental effects in children associated with prenatal methylmercury exposure, from contaminated fish and seafood in the maternal diet, has recently been strengthened by adjustment for the negative confounding resulting from co-exposure to beneficial polyunsaturated ...
