Jellyfish (Rhopilema esculentum) was hydrolyzed using alcalase, and two peptides with angiotensin-I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory and antioxidant activities were purified by ultrafiltration and consecutive chromatographic methods. The amino acid sequences of the two peptides were identified as ...
Background While much attention has focused on the development of high-density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) assays, the costs of developing and running low-density assays have fallen dramatically. This makes it feasible to develop and apply SNP assays for agricultural species beyond the major ...
Background Allopolyploids generally undergo bivalent pairing at meiosis because only homologous chromosomes pair up. On the other hand, several studies have documented abnormal chromosome behavior during mitosis and meiosis in allopolyploids plants leading to the production of gametes with complete ...
NK-lysin is an antimicrobial protein produced by cytotoxic T lymphocytes and natural killer cells. In this study, we examined the biological property of a peptide, NKLP27, derived from tongue sole (Cynoglossus semilaevis) NK-lysin. NKLP27 is composed of 27 amino acids and shares little sequence identity ...
Military, public safety and science divers conduct operations in what can be one of the most inhospitable environments on the planet characterized by extreme temperature, pressure, and extremely poor visibility. Handheld displays and gauges can be virtually useless in an environment frequently characterized ...
While monitoring their own life support systems, underwater divers have to perform complex technical tasks in unstructured environments. An Underwater Robotic Assistant (UWRA) could assist a diver during the execution of these tasks by navigating the diver to the worksite, ferrying tools from the surface, ...
A passive energy based analysis of the acoustic signal from a diver is presented. The frequency components of the signal during inhaling and exhaling are investigated, as well as the periodicity of the signal features. The effect of different regulators on the power spectral density of the signals is ...
The emigration of residents following the Fukushima nuclear accident has resulted in aging and depopulation problems in radiation-contaminated areas. The recovery of affected areas, and even those areas with low radioactive pollution levels, is still heavily affected by this problem. This slow recovery ...
The design of an existing in-house scientific instrument was used as a basis to create a new model suitable for deployment onto a fishing industry vessel, with a reduced need for specialized technical support. Some of the planned developmental goals were met directly, whilst others resulted in intermediate ...
The purpose of this study is to investigate ship motions of a small trawler with advanced speed in wash wave. Authors have proposed a reproduction method of wash wave by wave generator. By using the reproduction method of wash wave, the ship motions of the small trawler with an advanced speed in wash ...
The submarine optical cables are one of the main parts of national and international telecommunication networks. Nowadays, the growing demand for bandwidth and transmission of vast amount of data on high bit rates causes expansion of terrestrial and submarine telecommunication network. The submarine ...
Regardless of much advancement in terrestrial communication technologies, marine communication technology has been stagnating for the last few decades especially with fishing vessels. Bringing a new communication technology in marine is difficult because it should consider maritime regulations and should ...
This paper proposed a novel approach to the kichiji rockfish recognition method for investigation of the fish biomass. This method does not depend on the size, position and attitude of the fish, because SIFT feature with rotation invariant is used and is represented by vector quantization histogram. ...
In October 2012, Fisheries and Oceans Canada began collection of two years of near-continuous autonomous acoustic recordings in the Gully Marine Protected Area and adjacent slope areas between the Gully and Shortland canyon, and between Shortland and Haldimand canyons south of Nova Scotia, Canada. Data ...
Placentia Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada contains numerous islands and shoals, and is a busy bay with large marine vessel traffic, fishers and small-craft users. Placentia Bay is second only to the Port of Vancouver in Canada in terms of the annual value of goods shipped. The SmartBay applied ...
Highly contaminated sediments exist in harbors and coastal environments due to shipping, poor management of waste, and anthropogenic inputs. Contaminated sediment is detrimental to fisheries, shell fishing, benthic communities, and human health. Measurement of heavy metals in sediments is of interest ...
Soil mechanical properties of the seabed are related to a number of challenges in the development of ocean renewable energy. Early site assessment is an important part of the development of an ocean renewable energy project, and soil mechanical and sediment dynamical site characteristics should already ...
ABSTRACT% Objectives: Mercury combined with other metals to form solid amalgams has long been used in reconstructive dentistry but its use has been controversial since at least the middle of the 19th century. The exposure and body burden of mercury reviews have consistently stated that there is a deficiency ...
Background: Monitoring of human exposure to mercury is important due to its adverse health effects. This study aimed to determine the extent of mercury exposure among mothers and their children in Ireland, and to identify factors associated with elevated levels. It formed part of the Demonstration of ...
Metabolic engineering of omega-3 long-chain (≥C20) polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω3 LC-PUFA) in oilseeds has been one of the key targets in recent years. By expressing a transgenic pathway for enhancing the synthesis of the ω3 LC-PUFA docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) from endogenous α-linolenic acid (ALA), ...
