Most of inherited retinal diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa (RP) cause photoreceptor cell death resulting in blindness. RP is a large family of diseases in which the photoreceptor cell death can be caused by a number of pathways. Among them, light exposure has been reported to induce photoreceptor ...
Background Different foods can modulate cardiometabolic risk factors in persons already affected by metabolic alterations. The objective of this study was to assess, in healthy overweight individuals, the impact of a diet combining multiple functional concepts on risk markers associated with cardiometabolic ...
Abstract Scale deposition in producing wellbores is a serious problem in the industry. The problem gets worse, when the scale is caused due to barium and strontium salts. These salts are difficult to clean as they are not easily soluble in any kinds of solution or chelating agents. In case of offshore ...
Background Horizontal gene transfer through natural transformation of members of the microbiota of the lower gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of mammals has not yet been described. Insufficient DNA sequence similarity for homologous recombination to occur has been identified as the major barrier to interspecies ...
For many years I have questioned how democracies decide, enact, and carry out Science and Technology (S&T) Policy. Around the world, most Congressional and parliamentary leaders tend to be lawyers who have no formal education in S&T Yet the decisions that these leaders make affect among other things, ...
The water quality monitoring system is designed for the need of environmental protection department in a particular area of the water quality requirements. The system is based on the Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). It consists of Wireless Water Quality Monitoring Network and Remote Data Center. The hardware ...
This paper analyzed and explained the current status of information technology, as well as the principle, framework, technological processes, functions, and features of 3S integrated system in the field of marine fishery and resources environment. Furthermore, this paper discussed the application project ...
With constant change and development of shipping, shipping markets increasingly prosperous, seagoing ships more ship tonnage and increasing marine pollution problems are becoming more serious, in the operation of ships in the process, inevitably, directly or indirectly in a number of substances and ...
Liaoning coastal economic belt development has risen to national strategy. Port-vicinity industry cluster of Liaoning coastal economic belt include the port group of Dalian port and Yingkou port as the center and the surrounding logistics industry, the port-vicinity industry, modem service system for ...
The water quality in the West and Rhode Rivers (WRR), two mezohaline sub-estuaries of the Chesapeake Bay, has declined due to local runoff of excess nutrients and total suspended solids (TSS) entering from the Chesapeake Bay. Previous research identified the feasibility of using large colonies of bi-valves ...
Genetic characterization of strains of Streptococcus iniae recovered from morbidity and mortality of farmed rainbow trout in different provinces of Iran were studied. The Gram-positive cocci isolates were obtained from the kidney tissues of diseased rainbow trout on blood agar at 25°C for 72 h. The ...
An attempt was made to delineate the relationship between of Aeromonas species and/or serogroups and specific disease symptoms in common carp Cyprinus carpio L. and rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum. The adhesion of Aeromonas strains to various tissues in relation to disease spectrum was also ...
With the un-abating global population increase our natural resources are stressed as never before, and the global day/night monitoring of the terrestrial covers from the mesosphere to the lithosphere becomes all the more urgent. Microwave radar sensors are ideally suited for space imaging because those ...
The melting of the Arctic glaciers is resulting in the opening of major transportation routes, such as the Northwest, Northeast and North-North Passages. With increasing shipping traffic and activities related to the fishing, oil, and gas industries, the need for reliable communication systems in the ...
Diving technology An intricate dance between developments in diving and in the offshore oil and gas industry has been under way since the industry’s beginnings. This can be traced back to 1897 when the first oil wells were drilled into the seabed from specially constructed wharves a few feet from the ...
Olfaction is essential for the survival of animals. Diverse odor molecules in the environment are detected by the olfactory receptors (ORs) in the olfactory epithelium of the nasal cavity. There are ~400 and ~1,000 OR genes in the human and mouse genomes, respectively, forming the largest multigene ...
This study investigated the morphohistology of the digestive tract and the mean intestinal coefficient of the damsel fish Stegastes fuscus captured from the tidal pools of Northeastern Brazil. The wall of the digestive tract of S. fuscus is composed of the tunica mucosa, tunica muscularis, and tunica ...
Freshwater mussels (order Unionoida) represent one of the most severely endangered groups of animals due to habitat destruction, introduction of nonnative species, and loss of host fishes, which their larvae (glochidia) are obligate parasites on. Conservation efforts such as habitat restoration or restocking ...
This investigation was undertaken to verify the prevalence of helminths parasites in the gastrointestinal tract of catfish. A total number of 116 catfish (Silurus glanis) were collected from Zarrine-roud river and examined for helminths. Fish were examined after washing contents of gastrointestinal ...
This paper designed and established a full-featured bio-paleogeography information system of paleontology, and input the existing fossils' data of the Late Triassic bivalve in Tibetan area. An analysis module based on ArcGIS Engine was developed, which tried to use the ecological attributes of paleontology ...
