Correlation between molar concentration and properties of sprayed copper oxide thin films

Copper oxide precursor solutions containing 0.10 M, 0.15 M, 0.20 M and 0.25 M concentration of copper were deposited on a glass substrate using the spray pyrolysis method. The structural, optical and surface properties of the resulting copp...

A First-principles analysis of Structural, Electronic, Elastic, and vacant properties of BCC, FCC and HCP tungsten at different electronic temperatures

Since tungsten (W) was considered as the most promising plasma facing materials (PFMs) in fusion reactors, there has been extensive research on the physical performance of W-PFMs. It is found that under the extreme conditions in a fusion re...

Adipocyte Hyperplasia Facilitated Adipose Tissue Expansion to Alleviate Hepatopancreas Injury in Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) Fed High-Fat Diet

Previous studies showed that interplay between liver and adipose tissue was important for animals to adapt to high-fat diets (HFDs). While the mechanisms of adaptation to HFD are not fully understood in fish, we hypothesize that interaction...

First Report of Ciguatoxins in Two Starfish Species: Ophidiaster ophidianus and Marthasterias glacialis

Ciguatera fish poisoning (CFP) is a syndrome caused by the ingestion of fish contaminated with Ciguatoxins (CTXs). These phycotoxins are produced mainly by dinoflagellates that belong to the genus Gambierdiscus that are transformed in more...

Unveiling Insights into the Whole Genome Sequencing of <i>Mycobacterium</i> spp. Isolated from Siamese Fighting Fish (<i>Betta splendens</i>)

This study aims to genomically elucidate six isolates of rapidly growing non-tuberculous mycobacteria (RGM) derived from Siamese fighting fish (Betta splendens). These isolates had previously undergone phenotypic and biochemical characteriz...

Role of hypothetical protein PA1-LRP in antibacterial activity of endolysin from a new Pantoea phage PA1

IntroductionPantoea ananatis has emerged as a significant plant pathogen affecting various crops worldwide, causing substantial economic losses. Bacteriophages and their endolysins offer promising alternatives for controlling bacterial infe...

Monitoring of coastal dynamics at Subang Regency using Landsat Collection Data and Cloud Computing Based

This study aims to better understand the coastal dynamics along the 6.89 km of Subang shoreline using Landsat data and GIS methods with cloud computing-based analysis. The data is processed using remote sensing techniques, image classificat...

Ecological correlates of extinction risk and persistence of direct-developing stream-dwelling frogs in Mesoamerica

Understanding the threats to wildlife across space and time is essential for developing effective conservation strategies. In Mesoamerica (i.e., the region that extends from Central Mexico to the most southern point in Panama) at least 40% ...

Composition, Demographic History, and Population Structures of Trichiurus

Sequences of the complete mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene were used to identify Trichiurus species and examine their population genetic structure and demographic history along the coast of China. Three Trichiurus species wer...

Can resistant coral-Symbiodinium associations enable coral communities to survive climate change? A study of a site exposed to long-term hot water input

Climate change has led to a decline in the health of corals and coral reefs around the world. Studies have shown that, while some corals can cope with natural and anthropogenic stressors either through resistance mechanisms of coral hosts o...

Improved chromosomal-level genome assembly and re-annotation of leopard coral grouper

Abstract Plectropomus leopardus, as known as leopard coral grouper, is a valuable marine fish that has gradually been bred artificially. To promote future conservation, molecular breeding, and comparative studies, we generated an improved h...

The avifauna of Ramanathapuram, Tamil Nadu along the Southeast coast of India: waterbird assessments and conservation implications across key sanctuaries and Ramsar sites

Background Wetlands, globally, face significant threats from human activities, and waterbirds, as key indicators of wetland health, are essential to maintaining ecological balance. Any long-term conservation measures should prioritize coord...

Seabird Migration Strategies: Flight Budgets, Diel Activity Patterns, and Lunar Influence

Every year, billions of birds undertake extensive migrations between breeding and non-breeding areas, facing challenges that require behavioural adjustments, particularly to flight timing and duration. Such adjustments in daily activity pat...

Didactic-methodic and psychological features of the use of video materials in teaching a foreign language

Modern technology is expanding the possibilities of classes and determining the need for new forms of learning. The study of multimedia technology is currently developing in an academic way. Visuals in general play a huge, sometimes decisiv...

VA: Virtual Node Assisted Localization Algorithm for Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks
