There has been a long-standing controversy about whether vertebrates emerged in the Paleozoic from marine or freshwater environments. Several hypotheses have proposed coastal, estuarine and riparian areas as sites of the transition. Here, we report the ecology of an amphibious fish Periophthalmodon ...
In a previous study using one-step CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing in mouse zygotes, we created five founders carrying a 1,137 kb deletion and two founders carrying the same deletion, plus a 2,274 kb duplication involving the Cntn6 gene (encoding contactin-6). Using these mice, the present study had the ...
Although the modulation of immune-related genes after viral infection has been widely described in vertebrates, the potential implications of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), especially long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), in immunity are still a nascent research field. The model species zebrafish could serve as ...
Bleaching and disease are decimating coral reefs especially when warming promotes bleaching pathogens, such as Vibrio coralliilyticus. We demonstrate that sterilized washes from three common corals suppress V. coralliilyticus but that this defense is compromised when assays are run at higher temperatures. ...
Climate change is driving shifts in the abundance and distribution of marine fish and invertebrates and is having direct and indirect impacts on seafood catches and fishing communities, exacerbating the already negative effects of unsustainably high fishing pressure that exist for some stocks. Although ...
The invention relates to improvements in or relating to the packaging of food (36) between a first plastic film (16) and a second plastic film (18) using a packaging apparatus (10). A tray (24) is formed from the first plastic film (16), the tray having a floor (33) with at least one channel (32). An ...
A method of treating meat includes the steps of applying hemoglobin to the meat and pressure treating the meat by application of pressure to the meat at sufficiently high pressure and for a duration of time sufficient to rupture the cell walls of at least some microorganisms present in the meat. The ...
The invention relates to method and a device for preparing a carbohydrate and/or protein product by subjecting a carbohydrate and/or protein to a heat treatment after a few ingredients have been added.
SCUBA diving is an activity in which divers remain underwater for prolonged periods by using a self-contained breathing apparatus. Diving is safety critical because changing depth too rapidly or running out of oxygen before surfacing can result in life-threatening consequences. These risks are currently ...
U.S. Navy Special Warfare (NSW) and Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Divers perform critical underwater missions while diving Closed Circuit Rebreather Underwater Breathing Apparatus (CCR-UBAs). Military CCR-UBAs are typically back-worn, electronically controlled, mixed gas diving systems with the ...
First Responder/Public Safety Divers (FR/PSDs) conduct rescue and evidence recovery operations in dark, turbid waters, where visibility is often non-existent, making it impossible to read their pressure gauges to determine if they are low on air. The Florida State University-Panama City (FSUPC) Senior ...
As human activity in the oceans has grown and scientific understanding of underwater noise has increased, it has been generally accepted that the growth of anthropogenic noise in the ocean has acute, chronic, and cumulative impacts on marine species, most notably marine mammals who depend on sound for ...
This paper presents a diver gesture recognition method for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) to facilitate human-robot collaborative tasks. While previous methods of underwater human-robot communication required the use of expensive and bulky keyboard or joystick controls, hand gestures are becoming ...
Synthetic Aperture Radar is a popular instrument used in maritime surveillance due to its all weather imaging capabilities and ability to discriminate objects from its backscatter. One of the important concern in maritime safety is detection of fishing boats for rescue and other strategic operations. ...
Effective stream and wetland Best Management Practices (BMPs) restore the physical processes associated with ecological functions to their Proper Functioning Condition (PFC, i.e., the highest attainable ecological status of a riparian area without consideration of economic, administrative, or social ...
Few other environmental problems have received as much public attention and criticism in recent years as plastic pollution. Accordingly, in recent years, a number of plastic policies have been adopted at the national and supranational level in the EU and worldwide. In the U.S., health risks were repeatedly ...
The demand for hydrophobic polymer-based protective coatings to impart high corrosion resistance has increased recently. The increase of the hydrophobicity in a hybrid coating is a new challenge, for that reason and in order to protect a metallic surface of oxidant agents, a poly (methyl methacrylate) ...
Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) and haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus) are two commercially important marine fishes impacted by both overfishing and climate change. Increasing ocean temperatures are affecting the physiology of these species and causing changes in distribution, growth, and maturity. While ...
This research is to analyze the resistance and stability of double step hull with fast craft. Fast boats have a design to reach the desired speed. In the manufacture of a ship, the manufacturers always pay attention to the economic and technological side, which is in addition to the planned design parameters, ...
The need for increased global surveillance and enforcement efforts to combat Illegal, Unreported, Unregulated (IUU) fishing is well known. This paper describes the current research status in developing a novel technique of associating Automated Identification System (AIS) anti-collision messages to ...
