Cultured meat, derived from cellular agriculture, is an emerging food biotechnology. Although it not yet available on industrial scale, there are speculations regarding the technical and economic challenges that controversy over viability of this product. Therefore, our study aimed to map technological development cultured meat. For this, we used patent registrations, start-ups, their investors...

– Large scale geophysical prospection of an archaeological landscape in the Netherland. Integrated and multimethodological approach for interpretation. Challenges prospecting interpretation multiperiod sites.

Simulated social facilitation techniques (e.g. decoys and call playbacks) are commonly used to attract seabirds restored artificially created nesting habitats. However, a lack of stimuli conspecific cueing at these habitats may limit the use sites, least in short term. Therefore, testing effectiveness simulated audio-visual cues for attracting gregarious birds is important conservation planning...

Setting up effective conservation strategies requires the precise determination of the targeted species' distribution area and, if possible, its local abundance. However, detection issues make these objectives complex for most vertebrates. The detection probability is usually <1 and is highly dependent on species phenology and other environmental variables. The aim of this study was to define a...

Background Streptomyces hygroscopicusis a species that produces a variety of antibiotics belonging to different classes. It hás a distinct structure and possesses certain biological properties, such as antimicrobial and antitumor [1]. According to a study by Rong and Huang (2012) [2] more than 650 kinds of bioactive substances have been produced by Streptomyces hygroscopicus and species related...

In this paper we show that sufficiently smooth coefficients of the elliptic operator ∇x · σ(x)∇x − c(x′), x ∈ R, x′ ∈ R can be uniquely determined from the Cauchy data given on a strip in the plane {x3 = 0}. This is an extension of Tikhonov’s formulation of the one-dimensional inverse problem of electric prospecting to two dimensions. In this formulation, the number of variables in the Cauchy d...

The Chatham petrel (Pterodroma axillaris) is an endangered species, restricted to. a single population on South East Island, Chatham Islands. The key threat to breeding success is loss of chicks as a result of interference by broad-billed prions (Pachyptila vittata) prospecting for burrows for their oncoming breeding season. The effectiveness in decreasing interference using an artificial burro...

We examined the relative merits of mitochondrial DNA loci and ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacers for their use in prospecting for cryptic species of platyhelminth parasites. Sequence divergence at ITS1 and ITS2 was compared with divergence at 2 mtDNA loci (NADH dehydrogenase-1 and cytochrome c oxidase I) between closely related species of trematodes and cestodes. Both spacers accumulate...
