Physical Activity, Sleep, and Nutrition Do Not Predict Cognitive Performance in Young and Middle-Aged Adults

Biological lifestyle factors (BLFs) such as physical activity, sleep, and nutrition play a role in cognitive functioning. Research concerning the relation between BLFs and cognitive performance is scarce however, especially in young and middle-aged adults. Research has not yet focused on a multidisciplinary ...

Fish-T1K (Transcriptomes of 1,000 Fishes) Project: large-scale transcriptome data for fish evolution studies

Ray-finned fishes (Actinopterygii) represent more than 50 % of extant vertebrates and are of great evolutionary, ecologic and economic significance, but they are relatively underrepresented in ‘omics studies. Increased availability of transcriptome data for these species will allow researchers to better ...

Traditional use and management of NTFPs in Kangchenjunga Landscape: implications for conservation and livelihoods

Non-timber Forest Products (NTFPs), an important provisioning ecosystem services, are recognized for their contribution in rural livelihoods and forest conservation. Effective management through sustainable harvesting and market driven commercialization are two contrasting aspects that are bringing ...

Zebrafish Sensitivity to Botulinum Neurotoxins

Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNT) are the most potent known toxins. The mouse LD50 assay is the gold standard for testing BoNT potency, but is not sensitive enough to detect the extremely low levels of neurotoxin that may be present in the serum of sensitive animal species that are showing the effects of ...

Hypolipidemic effects of chitosan and its derivatives in hyperlipidemic rats induced by a high-fat diet

Background Hyperlipidemia (HLP) is the primary risk factor of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Various factors, including genetics, physical inactivity, and daily nutritional habits, affect the prevalence of HLP. Recently, it was revealed that dietary fibers, such as pectin, psyllium, and especially chitosan ...

Charactering the ZFAND3 gene mapped in the sex-determining locus in hybrid tilapia (Oreochromis spp.)

Zinc finger AN1-type domain 3 (ZFAND3) is essential for spermatogenesis in mice. However, its function in teleosts remains unclear. In this study, we characterized the ZFAND3 gene (termed as OsZFAND3) in an important food fish, tilapia. The OsZFAND3 cDNA sequence is 1,050 bp in length, containing an ...

A Review on the Assessment of Stress Conditions for Simultaneous Production of Microalgal Lipids and Carotenoids

Microalgal species are potential resource of both biofuels and high-value metabolites, and their production is growth dependent. Growth parameters can be screened for the selection of novel microalgal species that produce molecules of interest. In this context our review confirms that, autotrophic and ...

An Innovative Approach to Well Intervention and Workover Operations on Platforms With Limited Structural Capacity

Abstract The challenge faced when identifying and planning the requirement for intervention and workover operations on small platforms or single caissons is significant. Typically drilled via a jack up rig, there are limited opportunities to install hardware to the platform directly. With an increasing ...

Case Studies and Cost Savings Associated With Fit-For-Purpose Abandonment Systems

Abstract The development of innovative technologies and the effective application of late-stage intervention and abandonment systems in the oil and gas industry have resulted in cost savings and an increased standard of safety. This paper examines the successes of fit-for-purpose systems specifically ...

Advances in Model Scale Testing of Floating Offshore Wind Turbines Utilizing the W2 Wind/Wave Basin

Abstract Increased interest in floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) technology has stimulated the development of new testing facilities and techniques to support the design of these structures. This paper presents some specific challenges of testing FOWTs and how these requirements have driven the ...

Health-Related Behaviors in Swimming Pool Users: Influence of Knowledge of Regulations and Awareness of Health Risks

Background: Swimming pool attendance exposes users to infection and chemical risks that could be largely reduced with the adoption of healthy behaviors. This study aims to investigate if the knowledge of swimming pool regulations and awareness of health risks can be associated with users’ health-related ...

Estimating Nitrogen Load Resulting from Biofuel Mandates

The Energy Policy Act of 2005 and the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007 were enacted to reduce the U.S. dependency on foreign oil by increasing the use of biofuels. The increased demand for biofuels from corn and soybeans could result in an increase of nitrogen flux if not managed ...

Mobility modelling of marine fishing boats for communication network simulation

This paper presents a simple and realistic mobility model of marine fishing boat for simulating boat based communication network. The Vehicular Tolerant Network(VANET) is widely studied in the last decade. There are many mobility models to generate traces for VANET simulations. But, marine vehicle based ...

Smartphones based warning messaging system for marine fisheries and its characteristics

There are still many communities that are far behind from having the benefits of modern communication systems. The marine fisheries of developing countries corresponds to such a scenario which as it is suffering a lot due to lack of a flexible and reliable warning system which could make the fishermen ...

High compliance with dietary recommendations in a cohort of meat eaters, fish eaters, vegetarians, and vegans: results from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer ...

The aim of this study was to investigate differences in dietary intakes between 30 251 participants in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition–Oxford study, comprising 18 244 meat eaters, 4 531 fish eaters, 6 673 vegetarians, and 803 vegans aged 30 to 90 years who completed ...

A research of key technology used in seafood traceability

Seafood safety is widely concerned. Traceability of seafood solves the people's concerns about food quality. Traceability needs to collect information operating on this seafood of every stage during processing. This article presents a traceability system from seafood breading, processing and sales logistics. ...

A multi-level thresholding based segmentation method for microscopic fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) images

Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) technique widely used in cancer diagnosis is based on displaying chromosomal regions as FISH signals by staining with specific dyes. In this study, a new multi-level thresholding based FISH signal segmentation method is proposed for images produced by FISH technique. ...

Solution of the problem of biological rehabilitation of shallow waters on multiprocessor computer system

The paper covers problems of solving tasks of water ecology on multiprocessor computer system (MCS). We proposed a new model of biological rehabilitation of shallow waters in view the factors that have a significant influence on the water quality. Its discretization was performed with using the balance ...

Experimental security surveillance system for an Island-based facility

A test bed was developed for Plum Island, NY experimental multi-sensor security surveillance. The system includes broadband radars, cameras, an Automatic Identification System receiver, geophones and underwater passive acoustic sensors. The sensors were grouped into nodes connected to a Command and ...

Perceptions of Climate Change, Sea Level Rise, and Possible Consequences Relate Mainly to Self-Valuation of Science Knowledge

This study examines perceptions of climate change and sea level rise in New Jersey residents in 2012 and 2014. Different surveys have shown declines in interest and concern about climate change and sea level rise. Climate change and increasing temperatures have an anthropogenic cause, which relates ...
