Sturgeons are known throughout the world as the source of black caviar. Their declining populations in their native habitats, mainly the Caspian Sea, due to over-fishing for meat and caviar production, destruction of their spawning grounds and water pollution, have led to their introduction into aquaculture in areas with suitable conditions, including Israel. Recently, we noticed an unusual phe...

Current cardiac drug safety assessments focus on hERG channel block and QT prolongation for evaluating arrhythmic risks, whereas the optogenetic approach focuses on the action potential (AP) waveform generated by a monolayer of human cardiomyocytes beating synchronously, thus assessing the contribution of several ion channels on the overall drug effect. This novel tool provides arrhythmogenic s...

Abstract Sturgeon aquaculture is an important continuously developing sector within freshwater and its sustainability one of the most pressing matters nowadays. Thus, urge to apprehend mechanics sturgeon growth in captivity as well nature immediate importance, considering increase customers’ requests for captive-grown meat, caviar, adjacent by-products. The present study evaluates several canon...

We examine the tail risk spillovers between Canada and U.S. stock markets using over a century data, also account for roles of risks other advanced economies (France, Germany, Japan, Italy, Switzerland, UK) oil-market risk. use “best” measure obtained from different variants Conditional Autoregressive Value at Risk (CAViaR) model developed by Engle Manganelli (2004) in predictive compare its pe...

The aim of the work was to form ideas about rational nutrition as an element ecological education students by studying and discussing their eating behavior in relation foods rich vitamin D using quantitative descriptor-profile analysis. Quantitative analysis showed that “poorest” profiles have with highest D. Thus, a high content do not fall into circle students’ dietary preferences. results su...

Sturgeons are ancient and endangered species whose populations have been greatly reduced over the past few centuries due to habitat destruction overfishing for production of expensive caviar. All sturgeon listed in CITES Appendix II limit their trade; therefore, accurate identification is crucial. In this study, we performed whole-genome resequencing five species, including Kaluga (H. dauricus)...
