Aquaculture, also known as aqua farming, is a method used to produce food and other commercial products, restore habitat and replenish wild stocks, and rebuild populations of threatened and endangered species. Aqua farming is conducted by rural farmers in developing nations to supply food. This project ...
Router assumes a critical part in arrange directing or organize flows sending, the router carry the packet to one place to other via preeminent way. In traditional method router forward packet to only known predefined path, unaware of importance of packet and packet count total. It diminishes the productivity ...
Aquaculture is one of the important activities in the coastal regions of India. The livelihood of thousands of farmers depends on the yield generated through aquaculture activities. Water quality is an important factor that affects the growth and development of marine creatures. Any deterioration in ...
The use of virtual reality (VR) to depict climate change impacts is a popular strategy used by environmental, news, and political organizations to encourage pro-environmental outcomes. However, despite widespread dissemination of immersive content, climate change mitigation efforts remain tepid. In ...
In this work, we propose a mobile platform to collect data that make possible the prediction of energy consumption in residences in developing countries. The platform consists of a game that can be played individually or by team (i.e. a family) that lives in the same house. From time to time, a person ...
This paper presents an experimental laboratory model of an open channel to be used for the study of the hydraulic behavior of different types of fish ladders. The paper describes the way the scale of the model was chosen, the calibration of the channel for different flow rates and the possibilities ...
With the increasing number of inhabitants of the land, and rising global demand for agricultural products to meet the growing human needs of food, and exacerbate the problem of hunger in various parts of the world there was a need to find nontraditional ways of farming and to give food. Through the ...
The advent of Internet of Things (IoT) has made easier to build number of applications. In fact, the remote monitoring or sensing has been facilitated by the IoT. A number of sensor nodes with a networking capability can be deployed in order to have an ad hoc or continuous monitoring system. However, ...
The increasing population in the world forces humans to improve farm yields using advanced technologies. The Internet of Things (IoT) is one promising technique to achieve precision agriculture, which is expected to greatly increase yields. However, the large-scale application of IoT systems in agriculture ...
Bivalve mollusks thrive in environments rich in microorganisms, such as estuarine and coastal waters, and they tend to accumulate various particles, including viruses. However, the current knowledge on mollusk viruses is mainly centered on few pathogenic viruses, whereas a general view of bivalve-associated ...
Animals use adhesive secretions in highly diverse ways, such as for settlement, egg anchorage, mating, active or passive defence, etc. One of the most interesting functions is the use of bioadhesives to capture prey, as the bonding has to be performed within milliseconds and often under unfavourable ...
Aim To assess the systemic and local immunological response to subcutaneous implants of a vascular graft covered with collagen extracted from the European carp (freshwater fish) or with collagen of bovine origin. Methods Pieces of a vascular graft covered by pure bovine (Bos taurus, BOV, n=14) or ...
The genus Arcobacter ( Vandamme et al., 1991), comprised of Campylobacter-related species, are considered zoonotic emergent pathogens. The presence of Arcobacter in food products like shellfish, has an elevated incidence worldwide. In this study, we developed a specific viable quantitative PCR (v-qPCR), ...
Endocrine factors regulate food intake and growth, two interlinked physiological processes critical for the proper development of organisms. Somatic growth is mainly regulated by growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factors I and II (IGF-I and IGF-II) that act on target tissues, including muscle, ...
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are major molecular pattern recognition receptors, which are essential for triggering a series of innate immune responses against invading pathogens by recognizing their evolutionary conserved molecular patterns. The mudskipper, Boleophthalmus pectinirostris is exceptional ...
Mammalian fetuin-A and fetuin-B are abundant serum proteins with pleiotropic functions. Fetuin-B is a highly selective and potent inhibitor of metallopeptidases (MPs) of the astacin family, which includes ovastacin in mammals. By inhibiting ovastacin, fetuin-B is essential for female fertility. The ...
Probiotic microorganisms are of great interest in clinical, livestock and aquaculture. Knowledge of the genomic basis of probiotic characteristics can be a useful tool to understand why some strains can be pathogenic while others are probiotic in the same species. An automatized workflow called TarSynFlow ...
The decline of the European oyster Ostrea edulis across its biogeographic range has been driven largely by over-fishing and anthropogenic habitat destruction, often to the point of functional extinction. However, other negatively interacting factors attributing to this catastrophic decline include disease, ...
Zebrafish (Danio rerio) are quickly becoming an important model organism in behavioural neuroscience and drug addiction research. Conditioned place preference studies show that drugs of abuse produce responses in zebrafish that are similar to mammalian animal models. Repeated administration of ethanol ...
The vertebrate gene repertoire is characterized by “cryptic” genes whose identification has been hampered by their absence from the genomes of well-studied species. One example is the Bmp16 gene, a paralog of the developmental key genes Bmp2 and -4. We focus on the Bmp2/4/16 group of genes to study ...
