Olfaction: How Fish Catch a Whiff
An elegant new study shows that multiciliated cells in the noses of aquatic vertebrates generate flow fields that help odor detection and processing.
متن کاملHydrodynamic aspects of fish olfaction.
Flow into and around the olfactory chamber of a fish determines how odorant from the fish's immediate environment is transported to the sensory surface (olfactory epithelium) lining the chamber. Diffusion times in water are long, even over comparatively short distances (millimetres). Therefore, transport from the external environment to the olfactory epithelium must be controlled by processes t...
متن کاملFish harder; catch more?
Perhaps the most fundamental insight from fishery science is that ecosystems impose important and predictable constraints on food production from the sea. The familiar hump-shaped growth curve implies that the growth rate and carrying capacity of a species limit its production: Once stocks are depleted, further increasing fishing pressure will only lead to decreases in catch. This logic underpi...
متن کاملFirst Catch Your Fish: Designing a “Low Energy Fish” Label
This paper explores the application of information design principles to label design for fish packaging, identifying energy implications for the product. This stage of the project has consisted of: A review and distillation of the relevant literature on information and label design; environmental and labelling standards; and literature on consumer reaction to the design and information content ...

the highest impact factor unhealthy. I once met a scientist who could recite impact factors to the third decimal point, which is not even statistically significant. Come to think about it, an impact factor is only an average, so why doesn't it come with standard deviation? How can journal X claim that it has the highest impact factor in a given field without demonstrating the difference with th...
