Excess weight and obesity are major risk factors for many chronic diseases, and weight-loss interventions often include systematic exercise and nutritional supplements. The purpose of this study was to determine the independent/synergistic effects of Arthrospira (Spirulina) maxima supplementation (six ...
As food safety has attracted the widespread attention of society, the quality safety of agricultural products has become an important part of food safety and also confronts multiple challenges. In fact, the safe use of veterinary drugs in the production process has become one of important guarantees ...
Climate change is a complex and cross-cutting problem that needs an integrated and transformative systems approach to respond to the challenge. Current sectoral approaches to climate change adaptation initiatives often create imbalances and retard sustainable development. Regional and international ...
Rivers and reservoirs in urban areas have been associated with environmental quality problems because of the discharge of domestic waste into water bodies. However, the key effects and the extent to which environmental factors can influence the integrated structure and function of urban river ecosystems ...
Abstract Recent work on the chlamydomonadalean green alga Haematococcus lacustris uncovered the largest plastid genome on record: a whopping 1.35 Mb with >90 % non-coding DNA. A 500-word description of this genome was published in the journal Genome Announcements. But such a short report for such ...
One of the most promising areas of development in the human nutritional field over the last two decades has been the use of probiotics and recognition of their role in human health and disease. Lactic acid-producing bacteria are the most commonly used probiotics in foods. It is well known that probiotics ...
A survey of the helminth parasites of alien freshwater fishes from Argentinean Patagonia is presented, based on samples taken from 2010 to 2017 and including previous published records. A total of 1129 fishes were collected, belonging to 11 species from 7 families. We surveyed 34 localities in 12 river ...
Both age and intensive exercise are generally considered critical risk factors for osteoarthritis. In this work, we intend to establish zebrafish models to assess the role of these two factors on cartilage homeostasis. We designed a swimming device for zebrafish intensive exercise. The body measurements, ...
Background Captive animal populations, be it for food production or conservation programmes, are often maintained at densities far beyond those in natural environments, which can have profound effects on behaviour, immune and stress levels, and ultimately welfare. How such alterations impact transcriptional ...
Background High-throughput proteomics was used to determine the role of the fish liver in defense responses to bacterial infection. This was done using a rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) model following infection with Aeromonas salmonicida, the causative agent of furunculosis. The vertebrate liver ...
Salmonid alphavirus (SAV) is the causative agent of pancreas disease (PD) in farmed Atlantic salmon. A previous study showed that vaccination of pre-smolt salmon with a plasmid encoding the structural polypeptide of SAV gave protection against infection and development of PD accompanied by production ...
Background Little is known about the health of GMS commercial fishers and seafarers, many of whom are migrants and some trafficked. This systematic review summarizes evidence on occupational, physical, sexual and mental health and violence among GMS commercial fishers/seafarers. Methods We searched ...
While research into the growth, survival, nutrition and, more recently, disease susceptibility of triploid Atlantic salmon has expanded, there remains an overall lack of studies assessing the response of triploids to chemical treatments. It is essential that the response of triploids to disease treatments ...
In this paper, an adaptive sliding mode controller (ASMC) based direct torque control of position sensorless permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) driven single stage solar photovoltaic (PV) water pumping system is proposed. An ASMC based DTC is used as it reduces the influence of external disturbances ...

Internet of Things (IoT) is a very fast growing technology and the field of IoT is extending its wings in every one of the areas today. With the progression in computers like Arduino, Raspberry pi, the innovation is achieving the ground level with its application in farming and aquaculture. In this ...
The geospatial land recognition is often cast as a local-region based classification problem. We show in this work, that prior knowledge, in terms of global semantic relationships among detected regions, allows us to leverage semantics and visual features to enhance land use classification in aerial ...
Traffic forecasting is the baseline for planning future network. A failure to forecast traffic demand might lead to sloppy network design which needs to be rearranged later. That such rearrangement will require additional cost. The network infrastructure in rural area is not attractive for commercial ...
The current study focuses on predicting the wind speed on short-term weather conditions for maritime vessels weather station. Several machine learning models were developed for different forecasting horizons and their efficiency for this study was evaluated across a number of metrics. A regression machine ...
