Recent efforts to reduce malaria incidence have had some successes. Nevertheless, malaria persists as a significant public health problem in the Brazilian Amazon. The objective of this study was to describe changes in malaria case characteristics and to identify trends in malaria incidence in the Brazilian ...
Games have been used extensibvely for physical training. In this study emphasis is placed on computerized physical exercise and its positive effects in the physical and mental capacity as well as the quality of life of participants. Improvements are considered in two cases of different physical exercise ...
Nowadays, a variety of robots have been studied and developed for undersea exploration. The purpose of undersea exploration is to retrieve resources such as methane hydrate rare metal from bottom of sea. The ability for underwater vehicle to recharge batteries automatically in the sea is vital function ...
Background Data on nutritional status and correlates of noncommunicable diseases are scarce for resource-poor settings in sub-Saharan countries. With the scope of a project, “Access to Food and Nutrition Status of the Zanzibari Population,” data for investigating public health questions were collected ...
Isla Mujeres, Mexico is home to one of the most well-known aggregations of sailfish. Despite its fisheries prominence, little is known about this sailfish assemblage, or its relationship to other aggregation sites in the western Atlantic. In January 2012, April 2013 and 2014, we deployed 34 popup satellite ...
Garbage and debris produced by humans is commonly found in natural underwater environments such as oceans, lakes and rivers. Removal of submerged marine debris is required to prevent threats to marine and human life, and to maintain a sustainable environment. Detecting and mapping debris is hard due ...
Use of renewable energy sources in India is growing at a faster pace. There is also a paradigm shift from conventional to renewable sources in energy sector. Out of the 180 million rural households in the country, nearly 43 percent still use kerosene as the primary fuel for lighting. Kerosene-based ...
The present scenario is facing rapid developments in information and communication technology (ICT), which makes a conventional village to smart village. Smart village is a national effort to co-create a future of better living for through ICT facets. The driving motivation behind the concepts on smart ...
This paper conducted two biological observation experiments on cormorants, whose data concerns cormorants' weight, volume, area of webbed feet and area of their wings, and other data on density, wing loading and webbed feet loading is calculated as well. The average density is 0.738g/cm3, the average ...
Presents the introductory editorial for this issue of the publication.
Fishery industry has been developed rapidly in recent years. To establish an accurate and automatic fishery forecast system becomes concern of industrialists and even researchers. Existing fisheries forecast approaches mainly rely on typical common-used classification models. However, there still not ...
Automated video analysis in fishery has drawn increasing attention since it is more scalable and deployable in conducting survey, such as fish catch tracking and size measurement, than traditional human observers. However, there are challenges from the wild sea environment, such as the rapid motion ...
Layers diets typically contain 15–20% soya due to its high crude protein content (ca. 36%). Reliance on soya for protein can result in large increases in cost of feed due to the law of supply and demand as a global commodity. Lupin grains have high protein content (35–40%) but previous experience with ...
Juvenile sex ratios are often assumed to be equal for many species with genetic sex determination, but this has rarely been tested in fish embryos due to their small size and absence of sex-specific markers. We artificially crossed three populations of brown trout and used a recently developed genetic ...
In the last few decades, disaster risk reduction programs and climate initiatives across the globe have focused largely on the intimate connections between vulnerability, recovery, adaptation, and coping mechanisms. Recent focus, however, is increasingly paid to community resilience. Community, placed ...
In the UK, the Norway lobster (Nephrops norvegicus) supports its most important shellfish fishery. Nephrops are sold either whole, or as “tails-only” for the scampi trade. In the “tailing” process, the “head” (cephalothorax) is discarded as waste. A smaller crustacean species, the Antarctic krill Euphasia ...
We present here the draft genome of a pathogenic Yersinia ruckeri strain, isolated from rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) affected by enteric redmouth disease. The chromosome has 3,826,775 bp, a GC content of 46.88%, and is predicted to contain 3,538 coding sequences. The data will be useful for comparative ...
The effective management of invasive species requires detailed understanding of the invader’s life history. This information is essential for modeling population growth and predicting rates of expansion, quantifying ecological impacts and assessing the efficacy of removal and control strategies. Indo-Pacific ...
Background Domestication of Atlantic salmon for commercial aquaculture has resulted in farmed salmon displaying substantially higher growth rates than wild salmon under farming conditions. In contrast, growth differences between farmed and wild salmon are much smaller when compared in the wild. The ...
