Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks are characterized by their harsh channel conditions, lack of access to terrestrial services such as GPS for localization, limited battery life and low memory and processing capabilities. Furthermore, the effect of passive node mobility produces dynamic network topology ...
Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) approach is constituted of a pair of complementary techniques for precisely detecting gene amplification and over-expression which are regarded as signs of cancer in patients. Signal detection of FISH whole slides is extremely significant as enables to detect ...
There are neural recording applications in which the amplitude of common-mode interfering signals is several orders of magnitude higher than the amplitude of the signals of interest. This challenging situation for neural amplifiers occurs, among other applications, in neural recordings of weakly electric ...
The authors report 6 experiments that examined the contention that an end-of-day review could lead to augmentation in human memory. In Experiment 1, participants in the study phase were presented with a campus tour of different to-be-remembered objects in different university locations. Each to-be-remembered ...
This article describes the progress in the development of the atomic force microscope as an imaging tool and a force transducer, with particular reference to applications in food science. Use as an imaging tool has matured and emphasis is placed on the novel insights gained from the use of the technique ...
The international principle of ""due diligence"" is well recognized under international law, and is an outgrowth of the general obligation of States to ""do no harm"". The due diligence principle imposes an obligation on States to take affirmative action to ensure their territory or objects over which ...
The Hebei Spirit oil spill (HSOS) occurred in the Republic of Korea on 7 December 2007. We aimed to describe the cancer incidence trend in Taean County before and after the oil spill. Five major cancers and leukemia were analyzed. Cancer incidence data were obtained from the Korean National Cancer Center. ...
Land cover change and trends is the barometer that analysis the Earth’s wellness. It is an important measurement that ensue the protection of life on Earth and its continued existence. Up until now, the modern method of remote sensing and geographical information system (GIS) has been used to determine ...
This study addresses the methods for distinguishing the pointhead flounder Cleisthenes pinetorum from the juvenile walleye pollock Gadus chalcogrammus in and near Funka Bay, Hokkaido, Japan. Acoustics data of th Gadus chalcogrammus e fish were monitored using a Simrad EK60 (38, 120, 200 kHz) split-beam ...
As an inter-disciplinary study on the Sekisei Lagoon and its governance, co-authors, participated by both the social and ecological scientists, developed a schematic of main ecological structure, functions, use-types and stakeholders. Then, more than 50 policy measures by 5 ministries were identified ...
Tourism contributes approximately 3% to the GDP in Africa. One of the big attraction to tourists visiting Africa is the wildlife - both the fauna and flora. The larger game reserves and national parks have a wide variety of supporting facililtes such as good access roads, accommodation, food services, ...
The purpose of this paper is to quantitatively predict the flow in a circular tank for seedling production by numerical calculation. Also this is to provide basic knowledge to fishery science and seed production for engineers. Although there are many factors on the initial depletion, hence the influence ...
A spectrogram-based technique is presented for detection of time-and-bandwidth limited broadband signals in underwater audio. The approach employs an iterative 1-dimensional variant of a 2-dimensional multi-scale blob-detection technique commonly used in image processing. In contrast to the referenced ...
The cement plant's location, in the Roanoke Valley in the Commonwealth of Virginia, results from the presence of abundant limestone and other natural resources needed for cement production. The Troutville Plant's operations currently use about 100 acres of the 2,500 acres on its campus. Its vision is ...
Natural sources of mercury, historical gold mining, and contemporary artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) activities have led to mercury contamination in Suriname. Our primary objective was to evaluate mercury levels in hair of women and children from interior villages in Suriname where mercury ...
The Taiwan government had been establishing 28 Fishery Resource Conservation Zone (FRCZ) around Taiwan. Based on local conditions, each FRCZ has its own management measurements arranged by local government (city/county government) in Taiwan. The Wanghaixiang's Chaojing Bay Conservation Area (WCBCA) ...
Coral reefs represent the most biologically diverse marine ecosystem, however, they are vulnerable to environmental changes and impacts. Therefore, information on the variability of environment and biodiversity is essential for the conservation management of coral reefs. In this study, a soundscape ...
Fish population dynamics model is deemed to be effective to grasp the fishery resources in coast, which are the important food supplies for us. However, the influence from complex environmental conditions of coastal sea area is not supposed to be neglected. PDLS model was developed to estimate fish ...
Scientific net sampling on the seafloor using a variety of trawls and sleds provides valuable information on biota and habitats to biologists and fisheries managers. Specifically, the species composition and abundances of fishes and invertebrate mega-benthos are routinely derived from net sampling operations ...
We conducted an investigation for remaining period and behavioral ecology of skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) around the fish aggregating devices (FADs) in the sea near Yonaguni Island, Okinawa, Japan. Skipjack is known that it is altitude migratory fish and stays around an island and artificial fishing ...
