Variation in genome size, cell and nucleus volume, chromosome number and rDNA loci among duckweeds

Duckweeds are small, free-floating, largely asexual and highly neotenous organisms. They display the most rapid growth among flowering plants and are of growing interest in aquaculture and genome biology. Genomic and chromosomal data are still rare. Applying flow-cytometric genome size measurement, ...

Characterizing preferences of fishermen to inform decision-making: A case study of the Pacific halibut (Hippoglossus stenolepis) fishery off Alaska

In fisheries management, ex-ante analysis of fishermen’s preferences can provide reliable insights into specific characteristics of regulatory alternatives that are desirable, objectionable, or important, in the judgement of fishermen. This knowledge could facilitate consideration by fishery managers ...

Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Control

Earth, the third planet from the sun is the only planet on which life is known to exist. Seventy percent of the earth is covered by oceans. These oceans have been playing a very crucial role in transporting of goods even before the road. At the same time it cannot be ignored the possibilities of the ...

Measurement of wave slope asymmetry from a Multistatic Space Lidar Constellation: Theory and preliminary analysis of Wind direction Retrievals

Recently, the National Ocean Partnership Program funded the phase A of a lidar cubesat mission: Rainbow. This mission aims to provide information about surface height, surface vector winds, sea-ice, coastal land surface and liquid water clouds. Depending on the final system characteristics, it could ...

Ocean Color Instrument Integration and Testing

This paper describes the plans, flows, key facilities, components and equipment necessary to fully integrate, functionally test, qualify and calibrate the Ocean Color Instrument (OCI) on the Plankton, Aerosols, Clouds, and oceans Ecosystem (PACE) observatory. PACE is currently in the design phase of ...

Energy Efficiency in Forestry Machinery

In Russia in forestry, hunting and fishery industry expended about 5% of all energy using in country. The majority of this energy consumed in agricultural and forestry machinery is in the form of driving force in machinery and equipment. The purpose of the present study is to discuss the scientific ...

A Comparative Analysis of Vertical Agriculture Systems in Residential Apartments

Vertical farming, an agriculture method allows crops to be grown in an indoor setting with variable stacking systems, controlled temperate, LED lighting and irrigated through hydroponics, aeroponics or aquaponics. This paper reviews existing methods and techniques used for this growing field and its ...

Acceptability of flavoured pharmaceutically non-active mini-tablets in pet cats tested with a rapid 3-portal acceptance test with and without food

Palatable oral pharmaceuticals are crucial for feline medication. The pharmaceutical industry prefers synthetic flavours over organic ones because of hygiene and regulatory issues. The aim of this study was to find a palatable synthetic flavour for future taste-masking of feline pharmaceuticals. The ...

The Mediterranean Diet: From an Environment-Driven Food Culture to an Emerging Medical Prescription

The Mediterranean diet originates in the food cultures of ancient civilizations which developed around the Mediterranean Basin and is based on the regular consumption of olive oil (as the main source of added fat), plant foods (cereals, fruits, vegetables, legumes, tree nuts, and seeds), the moderate ...

Analysis of Heavy Metals in Foodstuffs and an Assessment of the Health Risks to the General Public via Consumption in Beijing, China

Consumption of foodstuffs is the most likely route for human exposure to heavy metals. This study was designed to investigate the toxic metals (cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), chromium (Cr), arsenic (As), and mercury (Hg)) concentrations in different foodstuffs (cereals, vegetables, fruits, fish, and meat) ...

Histone Acetylation of Immune Regulatory Genes in Human Placenta in Association with Maternal Intake of Olive Oil and Fish Consumption

Maternal diet modifies epigenetic programming in offspring, a potentially critical factor in the immune dysregulation of modern societies. We previously found that prenatal fish oil supplementation affects neonatal T-cell histone acetylation of genes implicated in adaptive immunity including PRKCZ, ...

Bioaccumulation Levels and Potential Health Risks of Mercury, Cadmium, and Lead in Albacore (Thunnus alalunga, Bonnaterre, 1788) from The Aegean Sea, Greece

Aegean Sea albacore (T. alalunga), fresh or processed, is marketed locally in Greece or exported, mainly to Japan, Italy, Spain, and France. To provide information for consumers and biomonitoring programs and assess the potential human health risks, concentrations of mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd) and lead ...

Establishment and Application of an Evaluation Model for Orchid Island Sustainable Tourism Development

Global warming and climate change increase the likelihood of weather-related natural disasters that threaten ecosystems and consequently affect the tourism industry which thrives on the natural attributes of island regions. Orchid Island, the study area, is home to the Yami (Tao) tribe—the only indigenous ...

Prevalence and Work-Related Factors Associated with Lower Back Musculoskeletal Disorders in Female Shellfish Gatherers in Saubara, Bahia-Brazil

Lower back musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are an important public health problem and the leading cause of disability worldwide, but with yet unknown prevalence among shellfish gatherers. To investigate the prevalence and work-related factors associated with lower back MSD in a population of female ...

Comparison of Objective and Perceived Access to Food Stores Associated with Intake Frequencies of Vegetables/Fruits and Meat/Fish among Community-Dwelling Older Japanese

This cross-sectional study aimed to compare access to the nearest food stores with perceived access associated with intake frequencies of vegetables/fruits and meat/fish among older Japanese people. We used intake frequencies of vegetables/fruits and meat/fish from a self-administered questionnaire ...

The Bioaccumulation and Tissue Distribution of Arsenic Species in Tilapia

Arsenic is a public concern due to its widespread occurrence and carcinogenicity. Consumption of arsenic-contaminated fish is an important exposure pathway for human health. This study focused on understanding how exposure to arsenic-contaminated fish is informative to human health risk assessment. ...

Adaptation and Validation of the Chinese Version of the Nutrition Environment Measurement Tool for Stores

Changes in lifestyle and food environment have created a heavy burden of obesity and chronic disease in China. However, measurements of the food environment have been rarely reported in China or other countries with similar food cultures; this measurement shortage is partially due to the lack of valid ...

Assessing the Impact of Animal Husbandry and Capture on Anemia among Women and Children in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: A Systematic Review

ABSTRACT Animal husbandry and capture (AHC) may mitigate anemia among women and children by supplying a source of micronutrient-rich animal source foods (ASF), yet may concurrently increase exposure to anemia-inducing pathogens such as Plasmodium spp., helminths, and enteropathogens. We conducted a ...

Comparative transcriptomics of sympatric species of coral reef fishes (genus: Haemulon)

Background Coral reefs are major hotspots of diversity for marine fishes, yet there is still ongoing debate on the mechanisms that promote divergence in these rich ecosystems. Our understanding of how diversity originates in this environment could be enhanced by investigating the evolutionary dynamics ...

Experiencing the city: Beyond the material

Cities in the Gulf region in general have been through major transformations throughout the last four decades. As a result, the urban space, which was mainly shaped by the tribal structure and the economy that is based on fishing, pearl trading and/or farming; has been modified beyond recognition. Nonetheless, ...
