The role of external actors in national health policy in aid-independent countries has received relatively little attention in the literature, despite the fact that influence continues to be exerted once financial support is curtailed as countries graduate from lower income status. Focusing on a specific ...
ABSTRACT Contaminants may affect ecosystem functioning by reducing the fitness of organisms and these impacts may cascade through ecosystems, particularly if the sensitive organisms are also habitat‐forming species. Understanding how sub‐lethal effects of toxicants can affect the quality and functions ...
Despite global shifts in attitudes toward sustainability and increasing awareness of human impact on the environment, projected population growth and climate change require technological adaptations to ensure food and resource security at a global scale. Although desert areas have long been proposed ...
Rice paddy irrigation ponds can sustain surprisingly high taxonomic richness and make significant contributions to regional biodiversity. We evaluated the impacts of pesticides and other environmental stressors (including eutrophication, decreased macrophyte coverage, physical habitat destruction, and ...
The southern surf crab Ovalipes trimaculatus (de Haan, 1833) presents a high potential for aquaculture. In this study, we analyze the benefits of different dietary treatments on its molt success and fitness of larval stages. Artemia persimilis nauplii were enriched with monospecific (Nannochloropsis ...
Abstract Mechanisms that determine how, where, and when ontogenetic habitat shifts occur are mostly unknown in wild populations. Differences in size and environmental characteristics of ontogenetic habitats can lead to differences in movement patterns, behavior, habitat use, and spatial distributions ...
The current invention concerns a method for manufacturing a cut resistant fabric comprising supplying a first yarn, a second yarn and a third yarn to a knitting machine for forming a fabric, wherein said first yarn is polyester or polyamide yarn with a thickness of 75-250 dtex, wherein said second yarn ...
A transport for a conveying a Flettner rotor over a deck of a vessel is described. The transport comprises a trolley for rolling engagement with a railway, the trolley comprises a chassis with wheels for engaging the railway and a load bearing mechanism configured to engage a base of the Flettner rotor ...
The Gyro sensor works with the principle of determination of angular momentum, and this tool works in conjunction with an accelerometer. The mechanism is a spinning wheel with a disc inside that remains stable. This tool is often used on robots or drones and other sophisticated tools. In addition to ...
Condition index, reproduction and feeding of three non-obligatory riverine Mekong cyprinids namely Hampala dispar, Hampala macrolepidota and Osteochilus vittatus were examined. The samples were from the Nam Ngiep (NN) River and Bueng Khong Long (BKL) Swamp, which are the representative of the lotic- ...
The circadian clock provides a mechanism for anticipating environmental cycles and is synchronized by temporal cues such as daily light/dark cycle or photoperiod. However, the Arctic environment is characterized by several months of Midnight Sun when the sun is continuously above the horizon and where ...
Beyond their significant contribution to the dietary and industrial supplies, marine algae are considered to be a potential source of some unique metabolites with diverse health benefits. The pharmacological properties, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, cholesterol homeostasis, protein clearance ...
Involving and engaging stakeholders is crucial for studying and managing the complex interactions between marine ecosystems and human health and wellbeing. The Oceans and Human Health Chair was founded in the town of Roses (Catalonia, Spain, NW Mediterranean) in 2018, the fruit of a regional partnership ...
Currently, a lot of major oil fields are in the latter stages of development, when the water-cut exceeds 90%. At the same time, the development of reserves of the edge zones and residual reserves by sidetraking with the preservation of the main hole, and dual completion require new approaches to planning ...
The increasing demand for delivering communication services in regions with intermittent connectivity and low node density has motivated researchers to develop new routing protocols. There are many application dependent routing protocols in the literature to establish communication for densely connected ...
In this paper, we present an approach based on robust probabilistic optimization via simulation to take into account uncertainties in the data used for model calibration. We apply this work to a fishery resource management problem and show that the results obtained can be used in real situation. The ...
Recently it has been found that the earth’s oceans are warming at a pace that is 40% faster than predicted by a United Nations panel a few years ago. As a result, 2018 has become the warmest year on record for the earth’s oceans. That is because the oceans have acted as a buffer by absorbing 93% of ...
Nowadays maritime data communications are mainly performed by satellite and radio media. But these media have limits on economics or data rate. Future ships at sea would need broad and stable maritime data communication system like that of land. Today, AIS (Automatic Identification System) and Mavlink ...
Summary Environmental DNA approaches are increasingly used to detect microorganisms in environmental compartments, including water. They show considerable advantages to study non‐cultivable microorganisms like Bonamia ostreae, a protozoan parasite inducing significant mortality in populations of flat ...
Nutritional quality of the hepatopancreas and gonads of orange portunid mud crab, Scylla olivacea was evaluated for each gender under four treatment of different water velocities (0, 20, 40 and 60 cm s−1), in terms of nutrient reserve and nutrient for reproduction. About 56 crabs were used in this study ...
