The process of Chinese urbanization and rural development has developed to a stage of urban-rural integration. Due to the impact of urban culture and villagers' spontaneous desire for urban civilization, villages and rural communities are in a tendency of convergent compounds, the traditional rural ...
Super-hydrophobic magnetic Fe/SiO2 tablets with a lotus-leaf-like surface were fabricated by a simple material process method. The morphological features, characterised by field emission scanning electron microscopy, showed that the microstructure of the surface changed obviously after being sintered ...
Growth performance and reduced stress response are traits of major interest in fish production. Growth and stress-related quantitative trait loci (QTL) have been already identified in several salmonid species, but little effort has been devoted to charrs (genus Salvelinus). Moreover, most QTL studies ...
Background and Objective Streptococcosis/lactococcosis is the cause of high morbidity and mortality in aquaculture sector and to date a number of species of Streptococcus and Lactococcus genera including S. iniae, S. agalactiae, S. dysagalactiae, S. parauberis, S. feacalis, L. garvieae and L. lactis ...
Summary Abstract Sharks and other large predators are scarce on most coral reefs, but studies of their historical ecology provide qualitative evidence that predators were once numerous in these ecosystems. Quantifying density of sharks in the absence of humans (baseline) is, however, hindered by a ...
A robot accepted by animals as conspecifics is a very powerful tool in behavioral biology, particularly in studies of gregarious animals. In this paper we present a robotic zebrafish designed for experiments on the collective animal behavior. The robot consists of two modules: a replica fish fixed on ...
Chongming Island is the world's largest alluvial island, in which river ecosystem is a major component of the terrestrial surface water ecosystem. Using the methods of environmental economics, such as market valuation method, shadow engineering method and protection costs method, the values of river ...
The integrated index values of ecological criteria of Tai Lake in China were calculated based on the variety of plankton communities in the waters and external environmental stresses. Considering the guideline for biological criteria issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and combining ...
Analysis of the 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) of the US Environmental Protection Agency priority pollutant list was carried out in sediment samples of an industrial port in the southern Kaohsiung Harbor of Taiwan which is supposed to be extensively polluted by industrial wastewater discharges. ...
Phytoplankton is the primary producer of the ocean. The variation of its variety and quantity will control the secondary productivity as well as the biomass of fish and other marine animal resources. Diatoms play an important role in the food web of the sea. Though many studies on the phytoplankton ...
This study investigated the spatial and temporal distributions of Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) in Sabah coastal water using satellite data, and identified the associated oceanographic events which caused large scale water enrichment in the surface layer. Results showed that surface Chl-a experienced seasonality ...
One of the ways criminals steal identity in the cyberspace is using phishing. Attackers host phishing websites that resemble a legitimate website and entice users to click on hyperlinks which directs them to these fake websites. Attackers use these fake sites to capture personal information such as ...
This study develops a web information retrieval system using the fuzzy relations in the indexing and ranking portions of standard web retrieval methods. The system was developed, including crawler, indexer, ranking portion, and user search structure. The BK-products of fuzzy relations with closure/interior ...
The optimal composition of fish gelatin-alginate-genipin to encapsulate Bifidobacterium pseudocatenulatum G4 was studied. The Face Central Composition Design-Response Surface Methodology (FCCD-RSM) was employed to determine the optimal ration of the matrices in order to obtain high in encapsulation ...
The cluster-type development in China promoted the progress of economy and society, which led the effective identification of industrial cluster significant to policy-making and economy. This paper calculated Location Quotients of Shaanxi Province from 2008–2010 by using the data of Statistical Yearbook ...
The rich phenotypic diversity that characterizes the vertebrate skeleton results from evolutionary changes in regulation of genes that drive development. Although relatively little is known about the genes that underlie the skeletal variation among fish species, significant knowledge of genetics and ...
Background The TERT gene encodes the catalytic subunit of the telomerase complex and is responsible for maintaining telomere length. Vertebrate telomerase has been studied in eutherian mammals, fish, and the chicken, but less attention has been paid to other vertebrates. The platypus occupies an important ...
Objective: Follicular lymphoma (FL) is one of the most common lymphomas, and is characterized by t(14;18)(q32;q21) in more than 80% of patients. The aim of this study was to determine the rate of t(14;18) positivity based onthe detection of mbr or mcr in paraffin-embedded tissue samples. Material and ...
