The recent trend of global warming has exerted a disproportionately strong influence on the Eurasian land surface, causing a steady decline in snow cover extent over the Himalayan-Tibetan Plateau region. Here we show that this loss of snow is undermining winter convective mixing and causing stratification ...
The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) sets a standard by which sustainable fisheries can be assessed and eco-certified. It is one of the oldest and most well-known fisheries certifications, and an estimated 15% of global fish catch is MSC-certified. While the MSC is increasingly recognized by decision-makers ...
Microplastics are an environmental contaminant of growing concern, but there is a lack of information about microplastic distribution, persistence, availability, and biological uptake in freshwater systems. This is especially true for large river systems like the Colorado River that spans multiple states ...
Abstract Stakeholder engagement is a critical element in offshore decommissioning projects. If stakeholders are engaged well, it can bring benefits to the decommissioning project through cost reduction, improved scheduling, and improved relationships. However, if stakeholders are antagonized, the influence ...
I servizi ecosistemici sono influenzati dalla limitazione della fornitura di servizi, dalla limitazione dell'accesso ai servizi e dall’impatto sulla qualità dei servizi. Mappiamo gli impatti cumulativi su 8 diversi servizi ecosistemici nella Columbia Britannica costiera utilizzando modelli InVEST, dati ...
Abstract The practice of mitigating cannibalism in aquaculture is an important focus for hatcheries seeking to maximize yield and has been maintained in hatcheries focusing on wild stock restoration. We hypothesize, however, that a cannibal feeding strategy may confer performance advantages over a ...
This paper analyses the time-frequency spectrum characteristics of a diver’s inspiration signals collected by a passive sonar and presents a passive detection method of divers by taking the diver’s inspiration signals as the keywords of a detection model, which is built by data synthesis and convolutional ...
The Piscine Stream Community Estimation System (PiSCES) provides users with a hypothesized fish community for any stream reach in the conterminous United States using information obtained from Nature Serve, the US Geological Survey (USGS), StreamCat, and the Peterson Field Guide to Freshwater Fishes ...
Background Lake Tanganyika is considered a biodiversity hotspot with exceptional species richness and level of endemism. Given the global importance of the lake in the field of evolutionary biology, the understudied status of its parasite fauna is surprising with a single digenean species reported ...
Background Local people’s interaction with bats render them vulnerable to Ebola Virus Disease (EVD). This paper examines perceptions of risk involved in the hunting, handling, processing and consumption of bat meat in the Mount Cameroon region of Southwest Cameroon. It focuses on the myriad cultural ...
Decreasing industrial energy sources and major environmental problems caused by uncontrolled energy consumption have led to studies on alternative energy sources. This study presents a design and experimental analysis of an exhaust gas-driven absorption refrigeration system for the purpose of air conditioning ...
The design of ocean-going fishing vessels usually has to consider their main parameters. In this paper, based on the data of more than 2,000 fishing vessels provided by the Fisheries and Fisheries Administration of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the main parameters of fishing tackle ...
With the advancement of radio frequency identification, wireless sensor networks, middleware, cloud computing and related applied software, the internet of things has been widely applied to agriculture, industry, fishing industry and logistics. Application of internet of things has changed the operation ...
The following topics are dealt with: Petri nets; cloud computing; resource allocation; inertial navigation; wireless mesh networks; disasters; regression analysis; mean square error methods; multilayer perceptrons; and Unified Modeling Language.
The paper addresses the use of partial least square-structural equation modelling (PLS- SEM) technique to evaluate the requirements for a design of a water resource management (ICT) model for an integrated water resource management. Researchers employed a quantitative approach using smart-PLS version ...
With the widespread application of the Automatic Identification System (AIS) in maritime management, a large amount of vessel motion information is recorded. The AIS data has become the key to maintaining vessel navigation safety and traffic supervision, and has promoted the extensive research of data ...
Background Extensive knowledge on the genetic characterization of marine organisms has been assembled, mainly concerning the spatial distribution and structuring of populations. Temporal monitoring assesses not only the stability in genetic composition but also its trajectory over time, providing critical ...
Background Photosymbiotic associations between metazoan hosts and photosynthetic dinoflagellates are crucial to the trophic and structural integrity of many marine ecosystems, including coral reefs. Although extensive efforts have been devoted to study the short-term ecological interactions between ...
The California Current System (CCS) sustains economically valuable fisheries and is particularly vulnerable to ocean acidification, due to its natural upwelling of carbon-enriched waters that generate corrosive conditions for local ecosystems. Here we use a novel suite of retrospective, initialized ...
Feeding is an important and also a heavy work in river crab farming, uniform feeding is necessary for raising river crab on the whole pond. The overall scheme of automatic bait casting system carried by paddlewheel catamaran is proposed based on RTK-GPS navigation positioning device. The feeding device ...
