Identifying correct stocking densities is an important concern for shrimp farming especially when intensification of shrimp production is growing in order to meet increasing demand. Increased stocking densities generate greater competition among individuals, reduced feeding efficiencies and increased water degradation. Little is known, however, about the effects of stocking density on feeding behaviour and conspecific interactions in commercial shrimp species. Therefore, the aim of the present study ...

The Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) is the most cultivated species in crustacean aquaculture and a potentially important consideration for its production could be the use of monosex cultures. Generally, female penaeid shrimp are larger than males due to a greater gain in mass per moult cycle, resulting in a clear size dimorphism in adults. It is unknown whether this dimorphism is driven by differences in feeding behaviours between male and female L. vannamei, which may be important in ...

There is increasing recognition of the need to understand behaviours of species important in aquaculture to facilitate their production, however to date there has been limited focus in this area. The Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei), for example, is the most cultivated species in crustacean aquaculture globally, yet there are few studies that have addressed its feeding behaviour in detail. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the feeding behaviour of L. vannamei in response ...

Abstract There is an increasing recognition within the aquaculture industry that understanding the behaviour of farmed animals can help provide solutions to feeding problems. However, most studies have focused on finfish production, with fewer behavioural studies on feeding processes in commercially produced crustaceans. More than 60% of crustacean aquaculture is attributed to the production of penaeids, particularly the Pacific white‐leg shrimp ( Litopenaeus vannamei Boone). The profitability of ...

Abstract Lumpfish ( Cyclopterus lumpus L.) are increasingly being used as cleaner fish to control parasitic sea lice, one of the most important threats to salmon farming. However, lumpfish cannot survive feeding solely on sea lice, and their mortality in salmon net‐pens can be high, which has welfare, ethical and economic implications. The industry is under increasing pressure to improve the welfare of lumpfish, but little guidance exists on how this can be achieved. We undertook a knowledge gap and ...

A recent appendix in the aircraft regulations comprises testing supercooled large droplets impinging on its surfaces. For those tests, the size and distributions of droplets need to be characterized in icing wind tunnels. In this paper, the applicability of implementation of the "Interferometric Laser Imaging for Droplet Sizing" technique inside a wind tunnel with a 3 m × 2 m open elliptical test section has been discussed. Experiments have been conducted in the laboratory for the discussion at object ...

Tuberculosis affects about 100 million people worldwide and causes nearly 2 million deaths annually. It has been estimated that one third of all humans is infected with latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Moreover, Mtb has become increasingly resistant to available antibiotics. Consequently, it is important to identify and characterize new therapeutic targets in Mtb and to synthesize selective inhibitors. ClpP1, ClpP2 and their associated regulatory ATPases, ClpX and ClpC1 are required for the ...

While thin-plies delay the onset of matrix cracking and improve certain in-plane mechanical properties, the effect they have on the out-of-plane response remains unclear. We compared the impact resistance, tolerance and sequence of failure events of thin laminates manufactured with thin- or standard-ply non-crimp fabrics (fibre areal weight of 67 and 134 gsm per ply). Damage initiation and propagation was detailed using (a) quasi-static indentation and impact tests at incremental energy levels and ( ...

Removal of internal organs such as lungs, liver, and kidneys is a key step required to compute the lean meat percentage from Computed Tomography (CT) scans of live animals. In this paper, we propose two segmentation techniques to remove these organs focusing on pigs. The first method is semi-automatic, and it starts with the first CT slice and a manually defined mask with internal organs. Then, it applies a four-step iterative process that computes the masks of the next CT slices by using the information ...

Abstract Plasmodium falciparum stage V gametocytes are responsible for parasite transmission, and drugs targeting this stage are needed to support malaria elimination. We here screen the Tres Cantos Antimalarial Set (TCAMS) using the previously developed P. falciparum female gametocyte activation assay ( Pf FGAA), which assesses stage V female gametocyte viability and functionality using Pf s25 expression. We identify over 400 compounds with activities <2 μM, chemically classified into 57 clusters and ...

Aircraft carriers are the strategic weapon to project airborne power for military operations overseas. The take-off manoeuvre is one of the most critical operations of aircraft at sea because extra lift and velocity are required due to the short runway distance available, partially mitigated by the use of ski-jumps. The ski-jumps of aircraft carriers give rise to adverse aerodynamic effects as a result of strong airflow disturbances over the flight deck. The disturbances are characterised by an ...

Background Chagas disease, caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, represents a very important public health problem in Latin America where it is endemic. Although mostly asymptomatic at its initial stage, after the disease becomes chronic, about a third of the infected patients progress to a potentially fatal outcome due to severe damage of heart and gut tissues. There is an urgent need for new drugs against Chagas disease since there are only two drugs available, benznidazole and nifurtimox, ...

Helicopters are one of the most important tactical elements in maritime operations. The necessity to improve the conditions in which the landing and take-off operations are carried out leads to the study of the flow that separates from the ship’s superstructure over the flight deck. To investigate this flow a series of wind tunnel experiments have been performed by testing a sub-scale model of a frigate. Measurements of the flow velocity have been taken by means of laser Doppler anemometry in five ...

ABSTRACT In response to a call for the global eradication of malaria, drug discovery has recently been extended to identify compounds that prevent the onward transmission of the parasite, which is mediated by Plasmodium falciparum stage V gametocytes. Lately, metabolic activity has been used in vitro as a surrogate for gametocyte viability; however, as gametocytes remain relatively quiescent at this stage, their ability to undergo onward development (gamete formation) may be a better measure of their ...

Abstract Using whole-cell phenotypic assays, the GlaxoSmithKline high-throughput screening (HTS) diversity set of 1.8 million compounds was screened against the three kinetoplastids most relevant to human disease, i.e. Leishmania donovani , Trypanosoma cruzi and Trypanosoma brucei . Secondary confirmatory and orthogonal intracellular anti-parasiticidal assays were conducted and the potential for non-specific cytotoxicity determined. Hit compounds were chemically clustered and triaged for desirable physicochemical ...

Current naval ships were designed without considerations for the air wake encountered on the flight deck. Naval frigates superstructures design has resulted in a sharp-edges box type that generates a wake dominated by highly turbulent recirculating flows. These flows can affect the safety of the helicopter during the takeoff and landing maneuvers. This paper presents wind tunnel tests performed in order to obtain a more complete insight and understanding of the typical flow on a simple frigate shape. ...

In this paper, we present a new information‐theoretic framework that quantifies the information transfer between the source data set and the rendered image. This approach is based on the definition of an observation channel whose input and output are given by the intensity values of the volumetric data set and the pixel colors, respectively. From this channel, ...
