The coming generations are using the wireless sensors, and all of these networks have been deployed across various areas. Also they are used with the real time systems thus catering to the needs of the present scenario which the traditional methods have failed. These wireless networks deploy sensors ...
A focus on the development of nontoxic coatings to control marine biofouling has led to increasing interest in the settlement behaviour of fouling organisms. Barnacles pose a significant fouling challenge and accordingly the behaviour of their settlement-stage cypris larva (cyprid) has attracted much ...
Background Schistosomiasis is a chronic parasitic disease caused by blood flukes (trematode worms) of the genus Schistosoma. Its transmission has been reported in 78 countries affecting at least 258 million people world-wide. It was documented that S. japonicum species was prevalent in Shan State, ...
We present a model for the fast evaluation of the total drag of ship hulls operating in both wet and dry transom stern conditions, in calm or wavy water, based on the combination of an unsteady semi-Lagrangian potential flow formulation with fully nonlinear free-surface treatment, experimental correlations, ...
Current technology assistance to Indian Fishermen for coastal communication consists mainly of handheld radios, which only enables broadcast communication over a short range. In order to overcome these limitations, a cost effective marine communication infrastructure based on long range Wi-Fi backhaul, ...
In this modern world, there are many technologies that are emerging day to day but no such technology is being efficiently and economically used to the fisherman in terms of their safety. The main drawback in the sea is that the fisherman are unaware of the border which makes them to cross the limit ...
In the proposed system a solution is given to the problem of “Fishermen Tracking their location in the sea”. For this the sea area is divided into three zones namely; safe, intermediate and danger. The boat is allowed to roam anywhere within the safety zone. If the boat reaches the intermediate zone, ...
Global fisheries and the future of sustainable seafood are predicated on healthy populations of various species of fish and shellfish. Recent developments in the collection of large-volume optical data by autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), stationary camera arrays, and towed vehicles has made it ...
Background Nutrition is a modifiable factor affecting birth outcomes, particularly in adolescent pregnancies. This study explores diet and supplementation practices, information and advice before, during and after pregnancy from the perspectives of pregnant or new young mothers and healthcare professionals. Methods Two ...
Abstract Psychiatric disorders arise due to an interplay of genetic and environmental factors, including stress. Studies in rodents have shown that mutants for Disrupted-In-Schizophrenia-1 (DISC1), a well-accepted genetic risk factor for mental illness, display abnormal behaviours in response to stress, ...
Newcomer women from developing countries are recognized to be at risk for elevated exposures to environmental contaminants and associated negative health effects. As such, data on exposure sources and contaminant body burden concentrations is critical in the development of effective public health policies ...
Background Diabetic retinopathy is the most common complication in diabetic patients relates to high expression of VEGF and microaneurysms. Scutellarin (Scu) turned out to be effective against diabetes related vascular endothelial cell dysfunction. However, its clinical applications have been limited ...
Background Extreme environments prompt the evolution of characteristic adaptations. Yet questions remain about whether radiations in extreme environments originate from a single lineage that masters a key adaptive pathway, or if the same features can arise in parallel through convergence. Species endemic ...
Background: Cadmium (Cd), a food-chain contaminant, is a significant health hazard. The kidney is one of the primary sites of injury after chronic Cd exposure. Kidney-based risk assessment establishes the urinary Cd threshold at 5.24 μg/g creatinine, and tolerable dietary intake of Cd at 62 μg/day ...
Collision of fishing vessels with ships has become one of the major hazards faced by marine fishermen. Due to the lack of a proper communication system, the fishermen at sea do not get any information about the oncoming ships. The ships sometimes fail to detect the vessels, especially at night when ...
The Artificial Fish Swarm Algorithm (AFSA) is a swarm-based metaheuristic algorithm which mimics the conduct of a group of fish in nature. In this paper, we proposed an improved AFSA algorithm for solving the Flexible Job Shop Scheduling Problem (FJSSP). The improvement is based on Variable Neighborhood ...
In order to make apps functional, mobile operating systems, such as Android, allow applications to access some system data without asking for user permission. We demonstrate that by analyzing these system data and some side channel information, it is possible to gain insight into a smartphone user's ...
Delay tolerant networks (DTN) are characterized by lack of end-to-end communications and stable infrastructures. This paper deals with DTN networks consisting of a number of heterogeneous mobile fishing vessels where some nodes, referred to as adaptive nodes, are capable of communicating through long-range ...
Southern Hemisphere humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) generally undertake annual migrations from polar summer feeding grounds to winter calving and nursery grounds in subtropical and tropical coastal waters. Evidence for such migrations arises from seasonality of historic whaling catches by latitude, ...
Marine animals, such as turtles, seabirds and pelagic fishes, are observed to travel and congregate around eddies in the open ocean. Mesoscale eddies, large swirling ocean vortices with radius scales of approximately 50–100 km, provide environmental variability that can structure these populations. ...
