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. ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 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 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 ...
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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
Invasive Indo-Pacific red lionfish, Pterois volitans, were first reported in the northern Gulf of Mexico (nGOM) in summer 2010. To examine potential impacts on native reef fish communities, lionfish density and size distributions were estimated from fall 2010 to fall 2013 with a remotely operated vehicle ...
The morphological plasticity of scleractinian corals can be influenced by numerous factors in their natural environment. However, it is difficult to identify in situ the relative influence of a single biotic or abiotic factor, due to potential interactions between them. Light is considered as a major ...
Environmental and ecological conditions can shape the evolution of life history traits in many animals. Among such factors, food or nutrition availability can play an important evolutionary role in moderating an animal's life history traits, particularly sexually selected traits. Here, we test whether ...
Micro-RNAs (miRNAs) are now recognized as a major class of developmental regulators. Sequences of many miRNAs are highly conserved, yet they often exhibit temporal and spatial heterogeneity in expression among species and have been proposed as an important reservoir for adaptive evolution and divergence. ...
BMC Ecology showcases the winning entries from its second Ecology Image Competition. More than 300 individual images were submitted from an international array of research scientists, depicting life on every continent on earth. The journal’s Editorial Board and guest judge Caspar Henderson outline why ...
Background HIV prevalence varies between 0.8 and 20.2% in Kenya’s various ethnic groups. The reasons underlying these variations have not been evaluated before. Methods We used data from seven national surveys spanning the period 1989 to 2008 to compare the prevalence of a range of risk factors in ...
Background The genomes of many insect and parasite species contain beta carbonic anhydrase (β-CA) protein coding sequences. The lack of β-CA proteins in mammals makes them interesting target proteins for inhibition in treatment of some infectious diseases and pests. Many insects and parasites represent ...
Background Survival outcomes for patients with osteosarcoma (OS) have remained stagnant over the past three decades. Insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R) is over-expressed in a number of malignancies, and anti-IGF1R antibodies have and are currently being studied in clinical trials. Understanding ...
Background Lysozyme g is an antibacterial enzyme that was first found in the eggs of some birds, but recently has been found in additional species, including non-vertebrates. Some previously characterized lysozyme g sequences are suggested to have altered secretion potential and enzymatic activity, ...
The sequences of all different RNA transcripts present in a cell or tissue that are related to the gene expression and its functional control represent what it is called a transcriptome. The transcripts vary between cells, tissues, ontogenetic and environmental conditions, and the knowledge that can ...
Early malacological literature suggests that the outbreak of schistosomiasis, a parasitic disease transmitted by aquatic snails, in the Senegal River basin occurred due to ecological changes resulting from the construction of the Diama dam. The common treatment, the drug praziquantel, does not protect ...
