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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
In order to implement the emergency rescue operations effectively, this paper purposes an intelligent maritime search and rescue route decision method which is based on the novel intelligent water drops(NIWD) algorithm. The neighborhood expansion mechanism and the optimal solution emphasizing mechanism ...
This paper takes Zhenan County as the analysis samples of mountainous counties in southern Qinling piedmont of Shaanxi, using the ecological footprint of the revised model estimates the ecological footprint and ecological carrying capacity of Zhenan. The result indicates that per capita ecological footprints ...
The development of electronic commerce in Chinese city is well conducted, while agriculture has become more difficult for e-commerce. Small-scale of decentralized management and the majority of market demand contradiction is typical of Chinese agriculture, it means the agricultural development model ...
In this study, titanium dioxide (TiO2) thin films have been investigated as a sensing membrane of the extended gate field effect transistor (EGFET) for pH detection application. The sol-gel TiO2 has been prepared and spin coated onto the indium tin oxide (ITO) coated glass as a substrate. Then the TiO2/ITO ...
In order to achieve autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) path tracking control accurately, especially for the underactuated AUV which lack of lateral input control, and unable to control lateral movement of AUVs directly, while the method of the line of sight guidance can solve this problem. The method ...
For more fish varieties, to the subsequent processing and marketing, which is necessary to classify the types of fish. This study is based on image processing technology to classify the types of fish, four fish to make use of the existing image acquisition device for collecting samples, through the ...
One consequence of human-driven habitat degradation in general, and habitat fragmentation in particular, is loss of biodiversity. An often-underappreciated aspect of habitat fragmentation relates to changes in the ecology of species that persist in altered habitats. In Bahamian wetlands, ecosystem fragmentation ...
A major hindrance for the development of psychiatric drugs is the prediction of how treatments can alter complex behaviors in assays which have good throughput and physiological complexity. Here we report the development of a medium-throughput screen for drugs which alter anxiety-like behavior in adult ...
Shallow-water coastal areas suffer frequent reductions in salinity due to heavy rains, potentially stressing the organisms found there, particularly the early stages of development (including pelagic larvae). Individual adults and newly hatched larvae of the gastropod Crepipatella peruviana were exposed ...
Little consideration has been given to environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling strategies for rare species. The certainty of species detection relies on understanding false positive and false negative error rates. We used artificial ponds together with logistic regression models to assess the detection of ...
Northern Gulf of Mexico (NGoM) loggerheads (Caretta caretta) make up one of the smallest subpopulations of this threatened species and have declining nest numbers. We used satellite telemetry and a switching state-space model to identify distinct foraging areas used by 59 NGoM loggerheads tagged during ...
Conservation efforts aimed at the whale shark, Rhincodon typus, remain limited by a lack of basic information on most aspects of its ecology, including global population structure, population sizes and movement patterns. Here we report on the movements of 47 Red Sea whale sharks fitted with three types ...
An important challenge for scientific research is the production of artificial systems able to mimic the recognition mechanisms occurring at the molecular level in living systems. A valid contribution in this direction resulted from the development of molecular imprinting. By means of this technology, ...
In the past few decades, in the marine realm in particular, the use of molecular tools has led to the discovery of hidden taxonomic diversity, revealing complexes of sister species. A good example is the red algal genus Asparagopsis. The two species (A. armata and A. taxiformis) recognized in this genus ...
