A red-tailed catfish (Phractocephalus hemioliopterus) referred to Aquatic Animal Health Department, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Tehran for showing lethargy, bottom sitting, extension of abdomen and severe abdominal injuries. Its abdomen was swollen and the bulk of the foreign bodies were easily palpated. The heaviness of foreign bodies had made swimming and buoyancy difficult ...

When rendering large bodies of water in real-time an efficient method is required to model water waves. This article describes a method for real-time interactive generation of such waves. We use the wave particle method to describe wave propagation in a fluid medium. The method allows to simulate interactions of water with general shaped rigid bodies in real-time. We present a GPU implementatio...

The volume of e-waste is growing around the world, and, increasingly, it is being disposed of by export from developed to developing countries. This is the situation in Ghana, and, in this paper we address the potential consequences of such e-waste disposal. Herein, we describe how e-waste is processed in Ghana, and what the fate is of e-waste-chemical contaminants during recycling and storage....

Abstract Water scarcity threatens people in various regions, and has predominantly been studied from a water quantity perspective only. Here we show that global is driven by both quality issues, quantify expansions clean technologies (i.e. desalination treated wastewater reuse) to ‘reduce the number of suffering scarcity’ as urgently required UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 6. Including tempe...

The long-term goal of “Imaging System Performance and Visibility as Affected by the Physical Environment” is to investigate the relationships between physical forcing and optical properties, including the imaging performance parameters. Our efforts are aimed at supporting the Radiance in a Dynamic Ocean (RaDyO) program, which is devoted to the topic of light propagation and imaging across the a...

Venomous catfish stings are a common environment hazard worldwide. Although these stings are often innocuous, significant morbidity may result from stings, including severe pain, retained foreign bodies, infection, respiratory compromise, arterial hypotension, and cardiac dysrhythmias. Treatment included hot water immersion, analgesia, wound exploration, and prophylactic antibiotics. In this ar...
