On the basis of investigation and interview, so many affect factors were found out, and according to the research on innovation theory, the affect factors of technology innovation in Marine pharmaceutical enterprises in Zhejiang province were identified as human resources, Marine science and technology policy, financing environment, infrastructure, and Marine technology platform, Marine cultura...

The therapeutic potential of natural bioactive compounds such as polysaccharides, especially glycosaminoglycans, is now well documented, and this activity combined with natural biodiversity will allow the development of a new generation of therapeutics. Advances in our understanding of the biosynthesis, structure and function of complex glycans from mammalian origin have shown the crucial role ...

the “driving force - pressure - state - impact – response” modeling framework isadopted to consider the formation mechanisms of environmental risks and the requirements ofecological environment protection. moreover, a systematical index system and evaluation model forthe measurement of the coastal ecological security level is put forward in this paper to assess thestate of coastal ecological en...

Experimental work was carried out to develop information about mechanical properties of recycled concrete (RC) in marine environment. By using the seawater and dry-wet circulation to simulate the marine environment, specimens of RC were tested with different replacement percentages of 0%, 30%, and 60% after immersing in seawater for 4, 8, 12, and 16 months, respectively. Based on the analysis o...

this study assesses the effect of major trace metals levels in wastewater discharges and sedimentfrom twenty four permanent and five semi-permanent wastewater drain outlets into the kuwait coast. theeffect of trace metals levels released from untreated wastewater discharges to euchelus asper, gastropod was also determined. results showed high trace metal levels in e. asper tissues, followed by ...

The knowledge about environmental sensitivity of the marine regions to radionuclide release can be used for the development of response strategies and improvement of design-maker systems. The present results are based on the consequences analysis after potential Russian submarine accident involving a modern vessel. The radioecological consequences are based on modelling of potential releases of...

The sound is widely used in marine observatories as an alternative means to retrieve information about environmental data in the sea area under surveillance. The original idea of using specifically man-made sound sources to send signals in the marine environment triggered the idea of ocean acoustic tomography and many alternative methods have been developed to exploit the acoustic measurements ...

The marine environment is extremely diverse, with huge variations in pressure and temperature. Nevertheless, life, especially microbial life, thrives throughout the marine biosphere and microbes have adapted to all the divergent environments present. Large scale DNA sequence based approaches have recently been used to investigate the marine environment and these studies have revealed that the o...
