Ghrelin is involved in the regulation of growth in vertebrates through controlling different functions, such as feed intake, metabolism, intestinal activity or growth hormone (Gh) secretion. The aim of this work was to identify the sequences of preproghrelin and Ghrelin receptors (ghsrs), and to study ...
Our understanding of microbial natural environments combines in situ experimentation with studies of specific interactions in laboratory-based setups. The purpose of this work was to develop, build and demonstrate the use of a microbial culture chamber enabling both in situ and laboratory-based studies. ...
ABSTRACT The vertical stratification of water temperature in seawater can be used to predict the generation of sea ice and ensure the safety of marine production activities. In the study, a seawater temperature profile measurement system was constructed. Seawater temperature profile data were measured ...
ABSTRACT Owing to its cutting-edge contour of the improved structure is not a straight line, a new comb-type floating breakwater is proposed in this paper. Experiments have been done in a wave flume to study the wave attenuation characteristics and the mooring forces of both the new comb-type and the ...
ABSTRACT Coastal zone is one of the most active and superior area on the surface of the earth. At the same time, it is a very vulnerable ecological region with a lot of human activities. With the rapid development of China's economy in the past 20 years, the degree of development and utilization of ...
ABSTRACT Aquaculture of Atlantic salmon in coastal and offshore locations is an operation intensive industry. This paper gives an overview of the most typical marine operations in the aquaculture of Atlantic salmon. Descriptions of these operations are introduced in the first place, which is followed ...
ABSTRACT In this paper, flow patterns in a circular rearing tank with three different aeration rates are investigated by gas and liquid phase flow simulations. The results of the numerical calculation in this paper are approximated in agreement with the vortex center position which is measured from ...
ABSTRACT This paper presents an analytical study on the risk and vulnerability assessment of an Offshore Wind Turbine (OWT) subjected to coupled hydrodynamic and aerodynamic loads. The Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) tool FAST v8 simulator, developed by National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), ...
ABSTRACT In the paper, economic impacts on China's various maritime industries within two years were simulated based on the input-output model (IO model) in economics and input-output tables. As analysis, the sea ice disaster in the winter from 2009 to 2010 caused a total direct economic loss of 6.318 ...
ABSTRACT Needs for accurate analysis of dynamic behavior of moored offshore structure have been increasing in the shipbuilding industry, and there are many analysis codes for analysis of them. However, they cannot treat a detailed motion during offshore installation using floating barges and cranes. ...
ABSTRACT In this study, steel net panels with different twine diameters, mesh sized were tested in the current-wave flume. The hydrodynamic forces of the steel net panels were measured in current and regular wave, respectively. The effect of the net solidity, the Reynolds number and the Keulegan-Carpenter ...
ABSTRACT In this paper, three kinds of long-line aquaculture structure layouts including the position of buoys, the length of mooring lines, the layout depth of lantern nets are put forward for offshore long-line aquaculture. Physical model experiment is used to study the hydrodynamic characteristics ...
ABSTRACT The Beidaihe District is a famous tourist resort in North China characterized by high quality sand beaches. The beautiful shore environment had driven at least 1.6 billion US dollar income during the years from 2009 to 2012 when beach nourishment projects were implemented in large scale. Since ...
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is not only to investigate the impacts of mooring line failure for box-shape aquaculture net cages but also to propose an improved solution to prevent this event occurred. In this study, three different scenarios including central mooring line failure, lateral mooring ...
ABSTRACT Most islands rely on long-distance power supply from the mainland, such as diesel power supply, overhead cable power supply and submarine cable power supply in China, while these island are rich in clean and renewable natural resources like wave power, tidal power, wind power and solar power. ...
ABSTRACT A huge number of marine (coastal and offshore) structures of different types, floating or fixed, and of various sizes have been constructed and installed worldwide. The state of a marine structure during its life cycle must remain in the domain specified in design, although this can be altered ...
Hypocretins/Orexins neuropeptides are known to regulate numerous physiological functions, such as energy homeostasis, food intake, sleep/wake cycle, arousal and wakefulness, in vertebrates. Previous studies on mice have revealed an intriguing orexins/endocannabinoids (ECs) signaling interaction at both ...
Abstract Artificial light at night (ALAN) is increasingly recognized as a potential threat to wildlife and ecosystem health. Among the ecological effects of ALAN, changes in reproductive timing are frequently reported, but the mechanisms underlying this relationship are still poorly understood. Here, ...
Bayesian models provide recursive inference naturally because they can formally reconcile new data and existing scientific information. However, popular use of Bayesian methods often avoids priors that are based on exact posterior distributions resulting from former studies. Two existing Recursive Bayesian ...
To reveal the molecular mechanisms triggered by okadaic acid (OA)-exposure in the detoxification and immune system of bay scallops, we studied differentially-expressed genes (DEGs) and the transcriptomic profile in bay scallop gill tissue after 48 h exposure to 500 nM of OA using the Illumina HiSeq ...
