Behaviour of juvenile mulloway Argyrosomus japonicus were investigated under laboratory conditions to determine the efficacy of estimating predation mortality using tethering. The occurrence and duration of stressed behaviour was evaluated for individual A. japonicus that were hooked but untethered, hooked and tethered and unhooked and untethered (free swimming), both in schools and in isolatio...

The antimicrobial effects of 405 nm light have generated interest in its use as an emerging disinfection technology with potential food-related applications. The aim of this study was to assess the bactericidal efficacy of 405 nm light for inactivation of Escherichia coli and Listeria monocytogenes under sub-lethally stressed environmental conditions. Bacteria were exposed to 405 nm light from ...

Abstract In this paper, we discuss two types of dimensional adjectives in Nuosu Yi (Tibeto-Burman), which refer to as Positive (PAs) and Equative Adjectives (EAs). We show that PAs EAs are subject different distributions gradation structures: only admissible structures can be associated with measure phrases, include differential comparatives (e.g., Ayi is 2 cm taller than Aguo.) degree question...
