Heat Stress Perception among Native and Migrant Workers in Italian Industries—Case Studies from the Construction and Agricultural Sectors

Climate change will increase the frequency and severity of hazard events such as heat waves, with important effects in several European regions. It is of importance to consider overall effects as well as specific impact on vulnerable population groups such as outdoor workers. The agricultural and construction ...

Parasitic copepods ( Crustacea, Hexanauplia) on fishes from the lagoon flats of Palmyra Atoll, Central Pacific

Abstract We surveyed copepods parasitic on the fishes at Palmyra, a remote atoll in the Central Indo-Pacific faunal region. In total, we collected 849 individual fish, representing 44 species, from the intertidal lagoon flats at Palmyra and recovered 17 parasitic copepod species. The parasitic copepods ...

Next‐generation phylogeography of the cockle Cerastoderma glaucum: Highly heterogeneous genetic differentiation in a lagoon species

Abstract Aim Coastal lagoons form an intriguing example of fragmented marine habitats. Restricted gene flow among isolated populations of lagoon species may promote their genetic divergence and may thus provide a first step toward speciation. In the present study, the population genetic structure ...

Feasibility of conducting HIV combination prevention interventions in fishing communities in Uganda: A pilot cluster randomised trial

Objective We assessed feasibility of an HIV-combination-prevention trial among fishing communities in Uganda. Design Cluster randomised trial in four fishing communities on Lake Victoria, Uganda. Two intervention communities received a combination-prevention-package (behaviour change communication, ...

Vulnerability of the agricultural sector to climate change: The development of a pan-tropical Climate Risk Vulnerability Assessment to inform sub-national decision making

As climate change continues to exert increasing pressure upon the livelihoods and agricultural sector of many developing and developed nations, a need exists to understand and prioritise at the sub national scale which areas and communities are most vulnerable. The purpose of this study is to develop ...

A Case Study of Pipeline Integrity Management in Greenstream Natural Gas Export Pipeline Through Corrosion Mitigation and Inspection Strategy

ABSTRACT The GreenStream pipeline is the longest underwater pipeline ever laid in the Mediterranean Sea. The primary objective of pipeline integrity management (PIM) is to maintain pipelines in a fit-for-service condition while extending their remaining life in the most reliable, safe and cost effective ...

Fuelling Regional Growth: Still a Dream or a Concrete Possibility?

ABSTRACT In the framework of FP7 funding scheme, the project H2OCEAN (grant agreement n. 654871) has been developed, investigating a proof-of-concepts of a multi-use ocean platform, able to harvest energy, produce and store energy in the form of compressed H2, together with a multi-trophic aquaculture ...

Modelling the impact of deep-water crustacean trawl fishery in the marine ecosystem off Portuguese Southwestern and South Coasts: I) the trophic web and trophic flows

The concentration of the population in coastal regions, in addition to the direct human use, is leading to an accelerated process of change and deterioration of the marine ecosystems. Human activities such as fishing together with environmental drivers (e.g. climate change) are triggering major threats ...

An aerobic, bioremediation treatment system comprising floating inert media in an aqueous environment

An aerobic treatment system includes a plurality of highly porous, high surface area, inert, synthetic, inorganic, or natural material particles, having a specific gravity of less than 1.0 that float on an enclosed aqueous environment whereby plants and/or microbes can be grown thereon and/or animals ...

Helix rope for pelagic trawls

From a first aspect, a method is provided for forming a helix rope for a trawl comprising the steps of: a) situating upon a portion of a rope a bead of a substance being selected from a group consisting of: (i) a liquid substance; and (ii) a semi-liquid substance. From a second aspect, a helix rope ...

Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene multifilament yarn

The invention relates to a multifilament yarn containing n filaments, wherein the filaments are obtained by spinning an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), said yarn having a tenacity (Ten) as expressed in cN/dtex of Ten(cN/dtex) = f×n -0.05×dpf -015, wherein Ten is at least 39 cN/dtex, ...

Bait ejection device for a bait boat

The present invention relates to a primer ejection device (15, 16), intended to be mounted on an initiator boat (100, 200), characterized in that it comprises a rotating element (15) driven in rotation around a vertical axis and having an upper surface on which the primer can be deposited, said rotating ...

Differential Gene Expression Supports a Resource‐Intensive, Defensive Role for Colony Production in the Bloom‐Forming Haptophyte, Phaeocystis globosa

Abstract Phaeocystis globosa forms dense, monospecific blooms in temperate, northern waters. Blooms are usually dominated by the colonial morphotype—nonflagellated cells embedded in a secreted mucilaginous mass. Colonial Phaeocystis blooms significantly affect food‐web structure and function and negatively ...

Thyroid Hormone Disruptors Interfere with Molecular Pathways of Eye Development and Function in Zebrafish

The effects of thyroid hormone disrupting chemicals (THDCs) on eye development of zebrafish were investigated. We expected THDC exposure to cause transcriptional changes of vision-related genes, which find their phenotypic anchoring in eye malformations and dysfunction, as observed in our previous studies. ...

Visual adaptation and microhabitat choice in Lake Victoria cichlid fish

When different genotypes choose different habitats to better match their phenotypes, genetic differentiation within a population may be promoted. Mating within those habitats may subsequently contribute to reproductive isolation. In cichlid fish, visual adaptation to alternative visual environments ...

Rigorous monitoring of a large-scale marine stock enhancement program demonstrates the need for comprehensive management of fisheries and nursery habitat

Release of captively-bred individuals into the wild is one of the most popular tools in fisheries, forestry, and wildlife management, and introgression of hatchery-reared animals into wild populations is of global concern. However, research and monitoring of impacts on wild populations are generally ...

Invasion genetics of the silver carp Hypophthalmichthys molitrix across North America: Differentiation of fronts, introgression, and eDNA metabarcode detection

In the 1970s, the introduced silver carp Hypophthalmichthys molitrix (which is indigenous to eastern Asia) escaped from southern U.S. aquaculture to spread throughout the Mississippi River basin, and since has steadily moved northward. This large, prolific filter-feeder reduces food availability for ...

The Potential Role of Insects as Feed: A Multi-Perspective Review

Simple Summary The consumption of meat and fish is growing, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to meet the growing demand for protein by farming on land and in water, causing serious repercussions for the planet’s resources, socio-economic development, and environmental sustainability. The search ...

Reduced coenzyme q10 crystal excelling in stability and composition containing reduced coenzyme q10 crystal

Crystal of reduced coenzyme Q10 excelling in stability; and a composition containing reduced coenzyme Q10 crystal. Reduced coenzyme Q10 crystal that exhibits an X-ray diffraction pattern with Cu-Kα ray different from that of conventional reduced coenzyme Q10 crystal and excels in stability can be obtained ...
