Background: Cancer continues to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the African American community but insights into the types and incidence of cancer 85 years ago have been virtually non-existent and little is known of its geospatial distribution. Historical information on cancer can shed ...
Knowledge of connectivity and population structure is integral to the sustainable management of fished populations, yet such information is unavailable for many species over scales relevant to their exploitation. We examined broad-scale patterns and drivers of adult movement for a putatively mobile ...
Although Streptococcus agalactiae (GBS) cross-infection between human and fish has been confirmed in experimental and clinical studies, the mechanisms underlying GBS cross-species infection remain largely unclear. We have found different human GBS ST19 strains exhibiting strong or weak pathogenic to ...
Many ecosystems are influenced simultaneously by multiple stressors. One important environmental stressor is aquatic pollution via wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluents. WWTP effluents may contribute to eutrophication or contain anthropogenic contaminants that directly and/or indirectly influence ...
The Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei), one of the most widely cultured shrimp species in the world, often suffers from cold stress. To understand the molecular mechanism of cold tolerance in Pacific white shrimp, we conducted a proteomic analysis on two contrasting shrimp cultivars, namely, ...
Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is recognized as a typical “glucose-intolerant” fish, and the limits of dietary carbohydrate utilization have been investigated for many years. In this study, the objective was to test the molecular effects of dietary carbohydrates on intermediary metabolism in two ...
This study deals with the antimicrobial potential assessment of Ulva rigida, in regard to collection period and sampling site. Besides, we assess the chemical composition of bioactive compounds. For this purpose, Ulva rigida was seasonally collected from two northern sites in Tunisia, Cap Zebib rocky ...
Hot water premise plumbing has emerged as a critical nexus of energy, water, and public health. The composition of hot water microbiomes is of special interest given daily human exposure to resident flora, especially opportunistic pathogens (OPs), which rely on complex microbial ecological interactions ...
Marine bivalves, which include many species worldwide, from intertidal zones to hydrothermal vents and cold seeps, are important components of the ecosystem and biodiversity. In their living habitats, marine bivalves need to cope with a series of harsh environmental stressors, including biotic threats ...
The polyether toxin, okadaic acid, causes diarrhetic shellfish poisoning in humans. Despite extensive research into its cellular targets using rodent models, we know little about its putative effect(s) on innate immunity. We inoculated larvae of the greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella, with physiologically ...
Abstract ADNOC Offshore operates more than 1300+ numbers of oil, gas and water offshore wells of age 59 years on wards, at 300+ well head platforms located in shallow to intermediate water depth of 7m-34m for various fields. Well conductors being outer pipes of the well construction, its functionality ...
Abstract An offshore gas field located in a cold area; with an average temperature of 13 Celsius degree and −1.2 Celsius degree under sea level. The reservoir is located 200 meters under the sea floor, where the sea floor is 850-1100 meter depth and 120 Km away from shore. The objective is to develop ...
Abstract In congested districts of offshore Oil & Gas Industry, merchant ship traffic, offshore operations or fishing activity may interfere with pipelines in service, which rest exposed on the seabed. Despite the shortcomings of existing technology and knowledge, operators' concerns still emerge after ...
Abstract Plasma-based technology for various upstream applications has been under development for a couple of years. The first commercial application is for wellbore tubular removal or "milling" for Well Plug and Abandonment the main focus being the North Sea and Gulf of Mexico. In parallel to this ...
Abstract Wireline cable sticking is most frequently experienced during formation fluid sampling. In this situation, if the cable cannot be freed, strip-over fishing is the only remedy; this is a cost and risk-intensive activity which may extend the logging job by several days and result in further ...
Abstract The scope of this paper is to describe the advantages of utilizing Elastomeric Wraps for repairing and protecting offshore boat landing piles located in the splash-zone, which is a challenge worldwide, and to make comparison between this new protective Wraps and our existing repair practice. ...
Abstract More than two decades that the Gulf of Thailand (GOT) has been installed with petroleum hydrocarbon production platforms, currently over 400 platforms were installed and operated. Since mercury is a common contaminant in petroleum hydrocarbon production in Southeast Asia, minimal risk and ...
Abstract The nuclear envelope serves as important messenger RNA (mRNA) surveillance system. In yeast and human, several control systems act in parallel to prevent nuclear export of unprocessed mRNAs. Trypanosomes lack homologues to most of the involved proteins and their nuclear mRNA metabolism is ...
The prevalence of diabetes is steadily rising, and once it occurs, it can cause multiple complications with a negative impact on the whole organism. Complications of diabetes may be macrovascular: such as stroke and ischemic heart disease as well as peripheral vascular and microvascular diseases—retinopathy, ...
