Artemia has been widely used in aquaculture as a suitable live food. The presence of highly unsaturated fatty acids is a key factor that determines the nutritional value and marketing of Artemia for shrimp, marine larvae, sturgeon and ornamental fish industries. To determine the variation in nutritional content in cysts, decapsulated cysts and nauplii of Artemia from three different biotopes of...

We examined patterns in soil microbial community composition across a successional gradient of drained lake basins in the Arctic Coastal Plain. Analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that methanogens closely related to Candidatus 'Methanoflorens stordalenmirensis' were the dominant archaea, comprising >50% of the total archaea at most sites, with particularly high levels in the oldest bas...

Fast multi-output relevance vector regression (FMRVR) algorithm is developed for simultaneous estimation of groundwater and lake water depth the first time in this study. The FMRVR a analysis technique which can simultaneously predict multiple outputs multi-dimensional input. data used study collected from 34 stations located Urmia basin over 40-year period. performance model examined contrast ...

We examine the hypothesis that basins characterized by (1) marked spatial variability in precipitation, and (2) less of a filtering effect of the input rainfall signal will show improved outlet simulations from distributed versus lumped models. Basin outflow response to observed spatial variability of rainfall is examined for several basins in the Distributed Model Intercomparison Project. The ...

Lake Urmia Basin (LUB), in northwestern Iran, is under the influence of extreme degradation due to a number natural and anthropogenic factors. The existence critical for microclimate region as well quality human life wildlife, which necessitates an up-to-date holistic analysis its hydrological dynamics. In this premise, satellite-based Terrestrial Water Storage (TWS) received from GRACE mission...

Lake water level fluctuation is a function of hydro-meteorological components, namely input, and output to the system. The combination these components from in-situ remote sensing sources has been used in this study define multiple scenarios, which are major explanatory pathways assess lake levels. goal analyze each scenario through application balance equation simulate largest Iran, Urmia, sel...

2016 desert symposium e Bouse Formation provides a sedimentary record of the rst arrival of the Colorado River, water and sediment, as it was integrated from the Colorado Plateau to the Gulf of California 5–6 Ma. is unit is generally thin (10–100s m) but widespread within basins in the lower Colorado River corridor that extend from Lake Mead to Yuma (Fig. 1). e basins are interpreted to have be...
