We conducted a pooled analysis comparing the efficacy of an immunohistochemistry (IHC) assay using the D5F3 antibody with that of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for detecting ALK gene rearrangement in NSCLC patients. A total of 32 studies involving 5805 samples were included in this review. ...
Biological systems consistently outperform autonomous systems governed by engineered algorithms in their ability to reactively avoid collisions. To better understand this discrepancy, a collision avoidance algorithm was applied to frames of digitized video trajectory data from bats, swallows and fish ...
From a public health perspective, there is growing concern about dietary mercury intake as the most important source of mercury exposure. This study was performed to estimate dietary mercury exposure and to analyze the association between mercury intake and blood mercury levels in Koreans. The study ...
Background The effect of anthropogenic environments on the function of the vertebrate immune system is a problem of general importance. For example, it relates to the increasing rates of immunologically-based disease in modern human populations and to the desirability of identifying optimal immune ...
Background Vitamin D status has been hypothesized to protect against development of diabetic retinopathy via its anti-inflammatory and anti-angiogenic properties. Additionally, in vitro and in vivo studies suggest vitamin D favorably influences blood pressure and blood glucose control, strong risk ...
A transposon-mediated gene trap screen identified the zebrafish line qmc551 that expresses a GFP reporter in primitive erythrocytes and also in haemogenic endothelial cells, which give rise to haematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) that seed sites of larval and adult haematopoiesis. The transposon ...
This paper describes a system for criminal identification that utilizes a large number of wireless local area network (LAN) access points and cameras. The proposed “Criminal Fishing system” identifies the media access control (MAC) address of a culprit's device from probe request signals captured by ...
Arowana is a kind of fish which requires routine and patience maintenance techniques, particularly in terms of feeding and conditioning the water in aquarium which is quite specific. Lack of proper maintenance may affect the physical growth of arowana. It has been built a system to monitor and maintain ...
Last two decades some architects have used tools, which are based on nature principles. Thanks to globalization and multidisciplinary, contemporary architecture uses principles based on computing design, engineering, sociology or nature systems. Implementation of these principles brings new possibilities ...
Beaver have expanded in their native habitats throughout the northern hemisphere in recent decades following reductions in trapping and reintroduction efforts. Beaver have the potential to strongly influence salmon populations in the side channels of large alluvial rivers by building dams that create ...
Loach minnow (Rhinichthys cobitis) and spikedace (Meda fulgida) are legally protected with the status of Endangered under the U.S. Endangered Species Act and are endemic to the Gila River basin of Arizona and New Mexico. Efficient and sensitive methods for monitoring these species’ distributions are ...
Parrotfishes (family Labridae: Scarini) are regarded to have important roles for maintaining the ecosystem balance in coral reefs due to their removal of organic matter and calcic substrates by grazing. The purpose of the present study was to clarify the interspecific differences in grazing ability ...
MBARI has been conducting remotely operated vehicle (ROV)-based video surveys of the upper 1000 meters of the water column in Monterey Bay, California for over 23 years. These surveys have produced a unique midwater time-series data set that has enabled MBARI scientists to observe changes in mesopelagic ...
How health is defined and assessed is a priority concern for Indigenous peoples due to considerable health risks faced from environmental impacts to homelands, and because what is “at risk” is often determined without their input or approval. Many health assessments by government agencies, industry, ...
We live in an ever-changing environment where there is a vital need for persistent monitoring of human activities; whether it is for security, safety, economic or environmental purposes. Our oceans are no exception and may even be the region of our globe that is most at risk. Unbeknownst to many, there ...
A new class of small, hand-deployable underwater vehicles is playing an increasingly important role in oceanographic science. Due to the small nature of these vehicles, traditional incorporation of oceanographic instrumentation into a vehicle's body can result in a device too massive or cumbersome to ...
This paper will present research results from the Adaptive Autonomous Ocean Sampling Networks (AAOSN) project; a £1.5million project funded by NERC, Dstl and the Technology Strategy Board, to develop new technology solutions for coordinating a suite of marine autonomous systems (MAS). The SeeByte consortium, ...
California implemented the State's first network of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) within the nearshore waters of the northern Channel Islands in 2003. These protections serve as a tool to help ensure the long-term sustainability of marine populations and act as a living laboratory to better understand ...
The Middle Atlantic Bight (MAB) exhibits one of the largest seasonal cycles of temperature in the global ocean. During the summer, the water column is strongly stratified with warm surface waters separated from much colder bottom waters by a strong, shallow thermocline. The bottom water that remains ...
Since January 2015, Japan has restricted harvesting of tuna weighing less than 30 kg (juvenile tuna), in accordance with Western & Central Pacific Fisheries Commission agreements. With the goal of re-attaining historical intermediate values of 43,000 tons of tuna resources by 2024, there is now an upper ...
