With the surge in population and the demand of the food increasing, urban farming is rising steadily over the years in terms of popularity. Farmers and scientists have been trying to find ways to develop healthier and sustainable choices for farming and have come up with various solutions including ...
Cooking is a unique endeavor that forms the core of our cultural identity. Culinary systems across the world have evolved over a period of time in the backdrop of complex interplay of diverse sociocultural factors including geographic, climatic and genetic influences. Data-driven investigations can ...
Hypaponics is a monitoring system which takes care of integrated vertical farming. Hypaponics contains fields like Aquaponics, Agriculture and poultry. It is monitored using various sensors and the predictions are taken based on the data using Machine Learning Algorithms. These are the advantages for ...
A series of pedestrian bridges in the Mossy Creek area in Mount Solon, VA, were washed away after historic flooding in May and September 2018. There is a need to rebuild the bridges so that community members and visitors can access both sides of the creek's banks, specifically for the creek's primarily ...
The availability and ease of collection of fish data is crucial for the quantification of this marine resource. For example, it can be used to determine breeding grounds and other key sensitive areas in need of protection. It also provides critical information for fisheries management and conservation. ...
This paper describes performance test results of a long-range marine communication system developed for fishing buoy detection. Fishing buoy is a mark of the location of fishing tools installed underwater, and fishermen must find the buoy before harvesting fishes. When a poor visibility condition, it ...
A traceability system records information, traces, and tracks a product. The trend last decade is to develop intelligent traceability system. However, the literature reveals that there is no unanimous version of intelligent traceability. Publications don't provide clear vision of such traceability, ...
Distributed ledger/blockchain has emerged as an important technology that can have a significant impact on the management of supply chains. This paper investigates the feasibility of adopting blockchain technology in both manufacturing and perishable goods supply chains. Two cases are used to illustrate ...
Mercury (Hg) is a well-known toxic element, diffused in the environment, especially in the Mediterranean Sea which is rich in cinnabar deposits. Mercury bioaccumulation in fish is of great concern, especially for top-level aquatic predators (e.g., shark, tuna, swordfish) and above all for species of ...
Questa attività, che si inserisce in un progetto più ambio nell’ambito della produzione agroalimentare biologica (progetto PER.IL.BIO) ha come obiettivo la realizzazione di un dispositivo sperimentale del CREA dedicato all’allevamento di specie ittiche marine con gabbie galleggianti che verranno ospitate ...
Background Control of snail intermediate hosts has been proved to be a fast and efficient approach for interrupting the transmission of schistosomiasis. Some plant extracts have shown obvious molluscicidal activity, and a new compound Luo-Wei, also named tea-seed distilled saponin (TDS), was developed ...
Considering the crucial role of the gut microbiome in animal health and nutrition, solutions to shrimp aquaculture challenges, such as improving disease resistance and optimizing growth on lower cost feeds, may lie in manipulation of their microbial symbionts. However, achieving this goal will require ...
The first months of infant life are crucial for proper neurodevelopment, which may be influenced by several factors, including nutrition and nutrients (e.g., long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC PUFA) and carotenoids) of which the concentration in breastmilk is diet-dependent. This study analysed ...
Background Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease, and due to various physiological and psychological factors the patients are at risk of nutritional insufficiencies. The purpose of this study was to assess the dietary fatty acid intake and its effect on plasma fatty acids ...
The fin whale (Balaenoptera physalus) is a cosmopolitan species with a resident population in the Mediterranean Sea. Due to its habitat, open seas often far from ports and airfields, and its long-distance migratory behaviour, studying and monitoring its distribution is costly. Currently, many opportunistic ...
A major challenge in environmental policymaking is determining whether and how fast our society should adopt sustainable management methods. These decisions may have long-lasting effects on the environment, and therefore, they depend critically on the discount factor, which determines the relative values ...
Background The discovery of bioactive compounds in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has become an important field in TCM modernization. Ligand fishing is a suitable method for discovery of bioactive compounds in complex mixtures such as TCM with high selectivity. Because of unique advantage of low ...
Understanding the mechanism of high-temperature tolerance in cold-freshwater fish is crucial for predicting how certain species will cope with global warming. In this study, we investigated temperature tolerance in masu salmon (Oncorhynchus masou, known in Japan as ‘yamame’), an important aquaculture ...
Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) are termed essential fatty acids because they cannot be synthesized de novo by humans due to the lack of delta-12 and delta-15 desaturase enzymes and must therefore be acquired from the diet. n-3 PUFA include α-linolenic acid (ALA, 18:3n-3), eicosapentaenoic ...
In Andalusia, the official monitoring program for toxic phytoplankton and marine biotoxins was launched in 1994 to comply with European legislation. Since then, there have been numerous episodes of DST (Diarrhetic shellfish toxins) associated with the proliferation of Dinophysis species. This article ...
