ABSTRACT In this study, we propose marine biomass utilization system and describe an anaerobic digestion system using marine biomass and food waste. Four scenarios are presented with varying the size of anaerobic digestion plant. We conduct feasibility studies of the anaerobic digestion system from ...
ABSTRACT Osaka bay located in western Japan is one of the famous semi-closed water areas in Japan. Around this bay, the natural beach almost completely disappeared due to the development of the seafront zone. On the other hand, former Osaka bay has rich fishery resource; it was called "Chinu-no-Umi" ...
ABSTRACT This study is to develop a new compound cage system that not only maintains benefit of the traditional cage system but also has extra economic value to it by hanging a series of oyster trays on the circumference of the floating collar. The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence ...

ABSTRACT In recent years, the extreme climate condition has caused serious disasters on coastal areas. The research report of National Communication of the Republic of China, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC) and United National Environment Programme(UNEP) indicate that coast and islands ...
ABSTRACT This study examined the flow fields in a rearing tank by numerical calculation. In this calculation, we modified the numerical calculation by Shiotani et al. (2005) by assuming that flow fields are two-phase flows, and changing the boundary conditions. We numerically calculated the flow fields ...
ABSTRACT Artificial reefs have been utilized throughout the world for many different purposes. The majority of artificial reefs globally are related to fisheries ecology and management. In fact, artificial reefs are capable of attracting and aggregating fishes as well as enhancing the habitats of other ...
ABSTRACT With a possible application to the floating breakwater, the hydrodynamic property of porous elliptic plates is investigated by series wave tests in the present work. The testing model plates are made of steel. They are punched with evenly distributed holes to examine the effect of the porosity. ...
ABSTRACT Based on the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations and the Volume of Fluid (VOF) method, a numerical wave tank, including wave generation, propagation and damping zones, is set up. Nonlinear regular waves of large amplitude are simulated in a vertical two-dimensional wave flume. ...
ABSTRACT The primary objective of this study is to develop a preliminary tsunami early-warning system, which aims to mitigate the tsunami-generated inundation and possible catastrophe in southern Taiwan. The unsteady, straight, and continuous fault zone adjacent to southwestern Taiwan heightens the ...
ABSTRACT This study presents analysis of the results of numerical simulation of a marine surface intake/outfall from a power plant along the Red Sea coast of the Kingdom of Saudia Arabia (KSA). The prime concern of this study is to evaluate the impacted area by the cooling/saline water from the surface ...
ABSTRACT Wave Hub is a Marine Renewable Energy Installation (MREI) off the southwest peninsular of the UK. Wave Hub’s seabed infrastructure, including the main connection unit and 18 km of seabed cable were deployed in 2010. This study assesses the species assemblages present within the Wave Hub development ...
ABSTRACT The potential of wide bubble barriers (raft) as a countermeasure in an oil spill situation has been tested and assessed. The paper describes the final prototype validation with a bubble raft submerged in a strong tidal sound in Norway. The field test showed that the raft was capable of retaining ...
ABSTRACT Much of garbage patches consist of plastics, and most of these plastics are reusable (Werthmann, 2007). Long-lasting plastics that are found in garbage patches contain numerous toxic materials (Teuten et al., 2009). Cleaning up garbage patches involves environmental matters and economic and ...
Background The ineffectiveness of artesunate and amodiaquine tablets in malaria treatment remains a health burden to WHO and governments of malaria-endemic countries, including Ghana. The proliferation of illegitimate anti-malarial drugs and its use by patients is of primary concern to international ...
Background: Very high levels of prenatal maternal mercury have adverse effects on the developing fetal brain. It has been suggested that all possible sources of mercury should be avoided. However, although seafood is a known source of mercury, little is known about other dietary components that contribute ...
The generation of long-lived antibody-secreting cells (ASC) and memory B cells are critical events for an effective vaccine and the choice of adjuvant can influence these processes. Various cellular and molecular mechanism involved in the protease action that determine Th2 responses have been identified. ...
Background The Dlx gene family encodes transcription factors involved in the development of a wide variety of morphological innovations that first evolved at the origins of vertebrates or of the jawed vertebrates. This gene family expanded with the two rounds of genome duplications that occurred before ...
