Body tactile stimulation has a positive effect upon highly social animals, such as mammals and cleaner-client coral-reef fish, by relieving stress and improving health. Conversely, some tactile contacts are naturally detrimental, such as those resulted from aggressive interactions. To study whether ...
Studying early immune responses to organ damage in situ requires animal models amenable to intravital imaging. Here, we used transparent zebrafish larvae, a powerful animal model for innate immunity, to measure leukocyte recruitment to damaged livers. Bath application of metronidazole (Mtz) to fish ...
Background The impressive adaptive radiation of notothenioid fishes in Antarctic waters is generally thought to have been facilitated by an evolutionary key innovation, antifreeze glycoproteins, permitting the rapid evolution of more than 120 species subsequent to the Antarctic glaciation. By way of ...
Alternative polyadenylation (APA) is a widespread mechanism involving about half of the expressed genes, resulting in varying lengths of the 3′ untranslated region (3′UTR). Variations in length and sequence of the 3′UTR may underlie changes of post-transcriptional processing, localization, miRNA targeting ...
The invention addresses the problem of providing a cloth and a protective product that have lightweight properties, wearing comfort, and further protection performance against electric arcs. A means for resolution is a cloth including a spun yarn containing a meta-type wholly aromatic polyamide fiber, ...
Examples disclosed herein relate to a fender for a watercraft where the fender passenger safety device includes a three dimensional body. The three dimensional body includes a top area, a bottom area, a middle area, and an internal area. In addition, the fender passenger safety device includes a tunnel ...
The invention relates to a tracking systenn and method comprising: a first and second tracking units comprising a satellite signal receiver, a microprocessor, a radio frequency (RF) transmitter and receiver; and an indicator means; and in which upon activation of the first unit, the first unit satellite ...
A buoyancy dry bag includes an air valve unit (3), and first and second body parts (1, 2) that are connected to each other and that cooperatively define a receiving space (100) . The first body part (1) has a lining layer (11) made of thermoplastic polyurethane, and an external layer structure (12) ...
A system and method of positioning a set of vehicles (102) with respect to an object (104) and a set of targets (106). Embodiments can generate (302) an isovist using data obtained from at least one sensor associated with the object and use it to compute (304) an estimated position of each target with ...
Disclosed is a gas release device that is adapted to be secured to an inflatable article. The device includes an container, which can be a commercially available gas bottle, a salinity sensor, and an end cap. The salinity sensor operates an electrically fireable primer that serves to release an inflation ...
Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a Black box with Satellite Transmitter (BSAT) for underwater vehicles. The BSAT provides a mission data backup of sunken under water vehicles and it is akin to a black box recorder of aircrafts. The BSAT comprising a sealed enclosure to receive and transmit ...
Gloves including a fabric liner; a first polymeric composition adhered to at least a portion of the fabric liner, forming a polymeric coating; and a plurality of raised features comprising a second polymeric composition disposed on a surface of the polymeric coating, wherein the polymeric coating and ...
Disclose a kind of gloves and manufacture the method for the gloves, the gloves include：First polymer composition, it is set to polymer coating or polymeric layer；And multiple protruding features portions, it includes second polymer composition and is arranged on the surface of polymer coating, wherein, ...
Discovery of environmentally safe anti-fouling agent is currently of considerable interest, due to the continuous impact of biofoulers on the marine habitats and the adverse effects of biocides on the environment. This study reports the anti-adhesion effect of marine living Actinobacteria against fouling ...
Background It has been suggested that aquaculture ponds on the Chinese coast could act as breeding grounds for scyphozoans. Here, we present the first record of the scyphomedusa Phyllorhiza sp. in an aquaculture pond on the coast of the southern Yellow Sea, based on a combination of morphological characteristics ...
Mangrove forests provide valuable coastal protection from erosion, habitat for terrestrial and marine species, nursery grounds for commercial fisheries and are economically important for tourism. Galapagos’ mangroves usually grow directly on solid lava and fragmented rocky shores, thereby stabilizing ...
The present teachings generally provide curable polysiloxane compositions including a base resin and a lubricating liquid. The curable polysiloxane compositions can create a slippery material or coating, where an over layer of the lubricating liquid is spontaneously presented at an exposed surface of ...
Interactions using various sensory cues produce sophisticated behaviour in animal swarms, e.g. the foraging behaviour of ants and the flocking of birds and fish. Here, we investigate the behavioural mechanisms of frog choruses from the viewpoints of mathematical modelling and its application. Empirical ...
An extracellular matrix (ECM) is composed of multiprotein networks for stable interactions between cells. Thrombospondins (TSPs) are known to exert extracellular matrix interactions, synapse formation, angiogenesis and immune response in vertebrates. A five TSP gene family is divided into two subfamilies ...
