Octocorals (Cnidaria, Anthozoa Octocorallia) are magnificent repositories of natural products with fascinating and unusual chemical structures and bioactivities of interest to medicine and biotechnology. However, mechanistic understanding of the contribution of microbial symbionts to the chemical diversity ...
Norovirus (NoV) is the greatest cause of infectious intestinal disease in the UK. The burden associated with foodborne outbreaks is underestimated in part because data are dispersed across different organisations. Each looks at outbreaks through a different lens. To estimate the burden of NoV from seafood ...
Abstract Conventional methods of offshore platform and infrastructure removal have relied heavily on floating cranes and diver intervention. This has led to high cost, significant number of support vessels in the vicinity of the operation and risks associated with manned diving. This paper will attempt ...
In the last decades diseases have changed coral communities’ structure and function in reefs worldwide. Studies conducted to evaluate the effect of diseases on corals frequently use modified adaptations of sampling designs that were developed to study ecological aspects of coral reefs. Here we evaluate ...
Abstract This paper covers the End-of-Field Life management and abandonment planning for four subsea fields. Scope includes end-to-end planning from confirming cessation of production with the Regulator, to Abandonment Planning, actual Implementation and Execution. PETRONAS Procedures and Guidelines ...
Abstract Fifteen (15) subsea wells in Mauritania, consisting of 9 oil producer wells, 5 water injector wells and 1 gas injection well, were temporary suspended in preparation for plug and abandonment at a later phase. This paper describes the overview, challenges faced and lessons learnt captured during ...
Abstract 'As decommissioning has risen up the agenda for both Governments and oil and gas operators, the countries of Southeast Asia have adopted differing frameworks for the planning, permitting and execution of the decommissioning process. This paper presents a review of the frameworks adopted by ...
Abstract There is a demonstrated need for both technical and non-technical factors of the decommissioning industry which are the criteria of decision making in decommissioning project development. In Gulf of Thailand, there are huge numbers and volumes of offshore subsea pipelines expected to be decommissioned ...
Abstract The Cost Estimate is an essential document in the preparation of decommissioning cost projects and entails the quantification of commercial and schedule risks. This study lists the Lessons Learnt from the preparation of Cost Estimates for North Sea decommissioning studies. It reviews on a ...
Abstract PT Pertamina Hulu Energi Offshore North-West Java (PHE ONWJ) presently operates a fleet of more than 200 fixed offshore platforms and nearly three quarters of these platforms have been in operation for more than 30 years. Under newly implemented Gross Split Production Sharing Contract (PSC) ...
There is a growing concern for the potential toxicity of engineered nanomaterials that have made their way into virtually all novel applications in the electronics, healthcare, cosmetics, technology, and engineering industries, and in particular, biomedical products. However, the potential toxicity ...
Iodine deficiency is one of the most important health problems in the world. It intervenes in the synthesis of thyroid hormones, which carry out important functions, so that a deficit of this mineral causes alterations of different kinds such as those related to growth. The objective of the present ...
Aging-associated changes of skin conditions are a major concern for maintaining quality of life. Therefore, the improvement of skin conditions by dietary supplementation is a topic of public interest. In this study, we hypothesized that a composite supplement containing fish derived-collagen peptide ...
Tuleariocaris holthuisi and Arete indicus are two ectocommensal shrimps closely associated with the tropical sea urchin Echinometra mathaei. This study provides a comparison of these two E. mathaei symbiotic crustaceans and particularly focuses on the relationship between T. holthuisi and its host’s ...
The remarkable diversity of sex determination mechanisms known in fish may be fuelled by exceptionally high rates of sex chromosome turnovers or transitions. However, the evolutionary causes and genomic mechanisms underlying this variation and instability are yet to be understood. Here we report on ...
Graphene oxide (GO) was immobilized innovatively through azo spacer arm onto the surface of polymeric Amberlite XAD-16 resin in order to expose all oxygen functionalities freely available for metal ions coordination and further modification with picolylamine which governs selectivity. The GO Amberlite ...
Attitudes and beliefs about menstruation can place restrictions on menstruating women and girls, limiting their ability to fully participate in community life, education and employment. This paper presents evidence on menstruation-related beliefs contributing to restrictive practices in Papua New Guinea ...
Abstract Long‐term datasets can be particularly useful for parsing out factors influencing populations, yet few studies have utilized continuous datasets to quantify population dynamics in bivalve molluscs. We used dynamic factor analysis on a clam biomass dataset spanning 28 yr and five distinct regions ...
Background Human biomonitoring represents an important tool for health risk assessment, supporting the characterization of contaminant exposure and nutrient status. In communities where country foods (locally harvested foods: land animals, fish, birds, plants) are integrated in the daily diet, as is ...
National dietary guidelines (DGs) consistently recommend consuming seafood for health benefits, however, the sustainability of increasing seafood consumption is often challenged. Seafood products vary in environmental performance as well as health benefits, yet there is no information integrating the ...
