The development of foraging strategies that enable juveniles to efficiently identify and exploit predictable habitat features is critical for survival and long-term fitness. In the marine environment, meso- and sub-mesoscale features such as oceanographic fronts offer a visible cue to enhanced foraging ...
Law enforcement is widely regarded as a cornerstone to effective natural resource management. Practical guidelines for the optimal use of enforcement measures are lacking particularly in areas protected under sustainable and/or mixed use management regimes and where legal institution are weak. Focusing ...
This article, written by JPT Technology Editor Chris Carpenter, contains highlights of paper SPE 188567, “Successful Recovery and Stimulation of a Long HP/HT Horizontal Well in One Intervention: A Case History of Acid Fracturing and New Generation of Diversion Systems Combination, Middle Marrat Carbonate ...
The Hawaiian green turtle (Chelonia mydas) is on the list of threatened species protected under the U.S. Endangered Species Act in 1978 in large part due to a severe tumor-forming disease named fibropapillomatosis. Chemical pollution is a prime suspect threatening the survival of C. mydas. In this study, ...
We develop a set of methods to improve on the results of self-supervised learning using context. We start with a baseline of patch based arrangement context learning and go from there. Our methods address some overt problems such as chromatic aberration as well as other potential problems such as spatial ...
We conducted a Project-Based Learning (PBL)-type exercise incorporating Japanese cartoon (“manga”) techniques into Requirements Development (RD) processes. Manga has established techniques, such as those for character setting and story development, that we thought are also valid for RD processes. Using ...
DNA barcoding based on a fragment of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene in the mitochondrial genome is widely applied in species identification and biodiversity studies. The aim of this study was to establish a comprehensive barcoding reference database of fishes in the Taiwan Strait and ...
Abstract The historical phylogeography, biogeography, and ecology of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) have been impacted by cyclic Pleistocene glaciations, where drops in sea temperatures led to sequestering of water in ice sheets, emergence of continental shelves, and changes to ocean currents. High‐resolution, ...
""Eco-Express-Service"" LLC, a St. Petersburg company, has a vast twenty-five-year experience in environmental design documentation development and perfective design maintenance of more than two hundred projects related to various hydraulic works in marine and coastal ecosystems. Most of projects belongs ...
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is still the leading cause of death in all western world countries and genetic predisposition in combination with traditional risk factors frequently mediates their manifestation. Genome-wide association (GWA) studies revealed numerous potentially disease modifying genetic ...
The global impact on the planet of solid waste generation has been rising rapidly every year. According to the World Bank, 3.5 million tons of solid waste were produced globally per day in 2013, and by 2025 this number could reach 6 million. In Portugal alone, 13,616 tons of solid waste were produced ...
Radio frequency identification technology has been recently employed as an effective solution for anti-counterfeiting. By attaching a tag on each product, a reader can provide a fast and automatic authentication. However, most of existing approaches adopt a per-tag approach to validate each product, ...
Qualitative risk assessment frameworks, such as the Productivity Susceptibility Analysis (PSA), have been developed to rapidly evaluate the risks of fishing to marine populations and prioritize management and research among species. Despite being applied to over 1,000 fish populations, and an ongoing ...
Illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing is largely responsible for dwindling fish stocks and marine habitat destruction. It is estimated that IUU fishing accounts for about 30% of all fishing activity worldwide, both on open oceans and within national exclusive economic zones. Responding to ...
Fusobacterium (F.) necrophorum (AB), a gram-negative obligate anaerobe, a kind of conditional pathogens, is often into organism with Corynebacterium pyogenes and Staphylococcus aureus and is the main pathogens of liver abscesses in ruminants and lemierre's syndrome and acute tonsillitis in humans. Currently, ...
In recent years the FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Department has been carrying out strategies and policies aimed at improving the regulatory laws on aquaculture and fisheries activities for increasing both the management efficiency and environmental protection associated to this task. In this field, ...
Background and Aim: During the last decades, reproduction performances declined dramatically worldwide, but little is known concerning the involvement of oxidative stress as a causative factor. Oxidative stress may act at different levels, with negative impacts on cell membrane integrity and other ...
Aim: The aim of the study was to explore the anti-methanogenic potential of phyto-sources from Northeast region of the country and assess the effect on rumen fermentation characteristics and protozoa for their likely inclusion in animal diet to reduce methane emission. Materials and Methods: Twenty ...
Abstract The twin‐tail of ornamental goldfish provides unique evolutionary evidence that the highly conserved midline localization of axial skeleton components can be changed by artificial selection. This morphological change is known to be caused by a nonsense mutation in one of the recently duplicated ...
Various waterborne pathogens originate from human or animal feces and may cause severe gastroenteric outbreaks. Bacteroides spp. that exhibit strong host- or group-specificities are promising markers for identifying fecal sources and their origins. In the present study, 240 water samples were collected ...
