Hypocretin system is composed of hypocretins (hcrts) and their receptors (hcrtrs), which has multiple vital functions. Hypocretins work via hypocretin receptors and it is reported that functional differentiation occurred in hcrtrs. It is necessary to figure out the evolution process of hypocretin receptors. ...
Background Iron plays important roles in the growth, reproduction and pathogenicity of Aeromonas hydrophila. In this study, we detected and compared the mRNA and protein expression profiles of A. hydrophila under normal and iron restricted medium with 200 μM 2,2-Dipyridyl using RNA Sequencing (RNA-seq) ...
Ectotherms choose the best thermal conditions to mount a successful immune response, a phenomenon known as behavioral fever. The cumulative evidence suggests that behavioral fever impacts positively upon lymphocyte proliferation, inflammatory cytokine expression, and other immune functions. In this ...
Incrementally grown, metabolically inert tissues such as fish otoliths provide biochemical records that can used to infer behavior and physiology throughout the lifetime of the individual. Organic tissues are particularly useful as the stable isotope composition of the organic component can provide ...
Background Environmental DNA (eDNA) monitoring is growing increasingly popular in aquatic systems as a valuable complementary method to conventional monitoring. However, such tools have not yet been extensively applied for metazoan fish parasite monitoring. The fish ectoparasite Gyrodactylus salaris, ...
Background BcGs1, a cell wall-degrading enzyme (CWDE), was originally derived from Botrytis cinerea. Our previous study revealed that BcGs1 could trigger defense responses and protect plants against various pathogens. We researched the defense response mechanism underlying this BcGs1 elicitation in ...
Currently, harmful algal blooms are being one of ever-increasing global environmental problems. Much attention has been paid to the use of natural products as the selective algaecides due to their low toxicity, high selectivity and eco-friendly properties. In the present study, the thiazole alkaloid ...
The increasing number and global distribution of pathogens resistant to antimicrobial drugs is potentially one of the greatest threats to global health, leading to health crises arising from infections that were once easy to treat. Infections resistant to antimicrobial treatment frequently result in ...
Two thermoregulated dicationic ionic liquids were synthesized and applied for effective extraction of the common dye malachite green oxalate (MG). The extraction parameters such as amount of ionic liquids, pH of water phase, extraction time, cooling time, and centrifugal time on the extraction efficiency ...
ABSTRACT Downhole fluid samples are one of the most critical pieces of information for reservoir characterization. They are used to inform fluid properties and are a key input into the understanding and prediction of reservoir performance and recovery. Understanding fluid properties is also critical ...
ABSTRACT Reservoir petrophysics is the most important study that defines qualitatively and quantitatively a reservoir's performance. The reservoir itself is characterised as clean, heterogeneous or poor in quality based on its mineralogical composition. Of the crucial minerals that decide reservoir ...
ABSTRACT It is well known that the acquisition of representative formation fluid samples is essential for reservoir management and development. However, because of overbalance pressure in the mud column, mud filtrate invades and contaminates the reservoir fluid during the drilling process but before ...
This paper provides a novel approach for the fusion of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images and Automatic Identification System (AIS) data for the tracking of vessels over sea areas. At this aim, SAR and AIS data are simulated and optimized for the upcoming NovaSAR-S maritime and stripmap modes. These ...
The SPIDER (Ship Position and Detection Radar) is a novel low SWaP payload, based on COTS components, tailored to support persistent and reliable maritime security and surveillance from HAPS. SPIDER is specifically designed for ship position, detection, and tracking. It is complementary to and can provide ...
Glass-fibre-reinforced plastics (GFRP) are commonly used for the construction of pressure vessels and tanks for example in automotive and aerospace industries. Especially for pressure vessels used for the storage of natural gas or hydrogen with operation pressures up to 700 bar, an early material fatigue ...
The interoceanic highway (IOH) in Madre de Dios, Peru has driven dramatic change in the Peruvian Amazon basin. We conducted a mixed methods study to examine the impact of these changes on the subjective well-being (SWB) of four communities on the IOH. Themes that emerged qualitatively included changing ...
Ultimate strength is a critical and fundamental consideration in the design of ship and offshore structures. Accurate assessment of the (residual) ultimate strength of a ship hull is important not only for the initial design, but also for the operation, maintenance, repair, and even for disaster management, ...
In the European Waters there is still a huge amount of Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) in place. Different causation scenarios from war hostilities and military actions have led to an unknown amount of different UXO in the Baltic Sea, as well as in the North Sea. Sediment movement, currents or missing information ...
This work presents a genetic based algorithm for conflict resolution. The solution is generated by assigning resources' shares for the conflicting parties based on preference elicitation process. The proposed algorithm obtains optimal solutions that satisfy Nash equilibrium. We have successfully implemented ...
