There are extensive risks in the aquatic products cold chain. Based on the characteristics of aquatic products, Special conditions and equipment needed for aquatic products cold chain construction, this study establishes index system which reflects the production, processing, transportation, sales and ...
For remote sensing image, whose spectral signatures are intricate, the traditional edge detection methods cannot obtain satisfactory results. This paper takes the space computing capacity of Cellular Automata (CA) and the data pattern search ability of Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) into account and ...
Aquaculture is an important to national food security. Productivity of aquaculture farms hinges on water quality. Lack of appropriate instrumentation for measurement of water quality is a hindrance to the industry. This experiment proposed and verify the application of e-nose and e-tongue for water ...
The chemokine receptors CXCR1–3 bind to 11 chemokines (CXCL1–11) that are clustered on the same chromosome in mammals but are largely missing in ray-finned fish. A second CXCR1/2, and a CXCR3a and CXCR3b gene have been cloned in rainbow trout. Analysis of CXCR1–R3 genes in lobe-finned fish, ray-finned ...
Antibiotics and antibiotic resistant bacteria enter wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), an environment where resistance genes can potentially spread and exchange between microbes. Several antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) were quantified using qPCR in three WWTPs of decreasing capacity located in ...
Genetically modified (GM) foods are evaluated carefully for their ability to induce allergic disease. However, few studies have tested the capacity of a GM food to act as an adjuvant, i.e. influencing allergic responses to other unrelated allergens at acute onset and in individuals with pre-existing ...
Background The sequencing, de novo assembly and annotation of transcriptome datasets generated with next generation sequencing (NGS) has enabled biologists to answer genomic questions in non-model species with unprecedented ease. Reliable and accurate de novo assembly and annotation of transcriptomes, ...
The interaction between volatile and non-volatile, e.g. proteinaceous, components of pheromone and other semiochemical-based signalling systems presents a daunting set of problems for exploitation in the management of vertebrates, good or bad. Aggravating this is the complexity of the mixtures involved ...
We assessed the occurrence of Vibrio pathogens in the final effluents of five wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) located in Amathole and Chris Hani District Municipalities in South Africa over a 12 months period between September 2012 and August 2013 using standard membrane filtration technique followed ...
Escherichia coli is a widespread bacterium encompassing a variety of strains, ranging from highly pathogenic strains, causing worldwide outbreaks of severe diseases to avirulent, well characterized safe laboratory strains. This study evaluated the prevalence and antibiogram profiles of E. coli pathotypes ...
Traditional 3D visual simulation of flexible fishing net has the problems of complicated computation and no collision detection studied. In this paper, a 3D visual simulation method is researched in order to simulate the dynamic deformation of the flexible fishing net. To solve the computational inefficiency ...
Anthropogenic impacts are increasingly affecting the world's oceans. Networks of marine protected areas (MPAs) provide an option for increasing the ecological and economic benefits often provided by single MPAs. It is vital to empirically assess the effects of MPA networks and to prioritize the monitoring ...
Background Coilia nasus (Japanese grenadier anchovy) undergoes spawning migration from the ocean to fresh water inland. Previous studies have suggested that anadromous fish use olfactory cues to perform successful migration to spawn. However, limited genomic information is available for C. nasus. To ...
The marine biodiversity of Gabon, West Africa has not been well studied and is largely unknown. Our examination of marine communities associated with oil platforms in Gabon is the first scientific investigation of these structures and highlights the unique ecosystems associated with them. A number of ...
Surface water is a critical resource in semiarid West-African regions that are frequently exposed to droughts. Natural and artificial wetlands are of high importance for different livelihoods, particularly during the dry season, from October/November until May. However, wetlands largely go unmonitored. ...
Big Data analytics has become a powerful tool in monitoring invasive species, with ecologists saying that with the problem of invasive species being on such a large scale, it is essential to analyse lots of data through studying several ecosystems. Supercomputers can help conduct analysis of the terabytes ...
Adverse birth outcomes including preterm birth (PTB: <37 weeks gestation) and low birth weight (LBW: <2500 g) can result in severe infant morbidity and mortality. In the United States, there are racial and ethnic differences in the prevalence of PTB and LBW. We investigated the association between ...
An initiative in Brazil teaches computing to young people alongside their parents in family workshops through game programming using Scratch - with benefits that reach beyond the classroom and into the community.
This descriptive study determined the profile of the people living near Estero de Paco in Manila. It also determined their attitudes and perceptions towards the use and purpose of the estuary and the technology management practices employed to rehabilitate it. It was revealed that most of the respondents ...
