Insects have been proposed as potential alternative animal protein sources to replace fishmeal (FM), which is expensive and has limited availability for fish feed formulation. However, studies on the effects of replacing FM with black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae (BSF-L) growth performance Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fry, water quality economic benefits are currently limited....

Anisotremus scapularis is an important commercial species in Perú, being a prioritized for the development of its aquaculture. The aim study was to establish A. female reproductive cycle and strategy on marine coast Callao, through seasonal sampling wild specimens. specimen collection carried out between January 2019 December 2020. Eighty-one specimens were collected, biometric indices calculat...

In Streptococcus pneumoniae, a fermentative aerotolerant and catalase-deficient human pathogen, oxidases with molecular oxygen as substrate are important for virulence and for competence. The signal-transducing two-component systems CiaRH and ComDE mediate the response to oxygen, culminating in competence. In this work we show that the two-component MicAB system, whose MicB kinase carries a PAS...

A novel and economical microwave route has been developed for the synthesis of electrochemically active LiV(3)O(8) material by using a domestic microwave oven. The heating behavior of the designed reaction system guided the preparation of LiV(3)O(8) at a suitable irradiation power (i.e. heating rate), reaction time, and temperature. At the lowest irradiation power, the conversion fraction of re...

Developed by General Motors (GM), the Auto Choice Advisor web site (http://www.auto choiceadvisor.com) recommends vehicles to consumers based on their requirements and budget constraints. Through the web site, GM has access to large quantities of data that reflect consumer preferences. Motivated by the availability of such data, we formulate a non-parametric approach to multi-product pricing. W...

Summer-winter variations in marine nanoflagellate densities at 3 depths in North Sea sediment~ (0-3, 30-33 and 60-63 mm) were studied using epifluorescence microscopy. Benthic flagellate densities in summer ranged from 7 to 859 X lo3 and in winter from 9 to l100 X 103 cells ~ m ~ . T h e effect of season on flagellate densities was different among stations. At 10 out of 15 stations summer value...

Objectives Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is an important cause of diarrheal disease in humans, particularly in children under 5 years and travelers in developing countries.To our knowledge, no vaccine is licensed yet to protect against ETEC infection. Like many Gram-negative pathogens, ETEC can secrete outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). These structures contain various immunogenic virule...
