Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory autoimmune disease affecting about 0.24 % of the world population. Protein arginine deiminase type 4 (PAD4) believed to be responsible for occurrence RA by catalyzing citrullination proteins. The citrullinated proteins act as autoantigens stimulating immune response. Citrullinated α-enolase has been identified one RA. Hence, serves a suitable templat...

Fishing trials were carried out with a demersal trawl fitted an inclined grid in the extension. Fibre optic cables attached to allowing illumination of top and bottom halves independently. Fish that passed through half entered one codend whereas those lower another. Four lighting configurations investigated where (i) none was illuminated; (ii) bottom-half (iii) top-half (iv) all illuminated. Tr...

In this study, we compared the bycatch reduction capacity of a trawl fitted with standard rigid sorting grid that newly developed, flexible system called Excluder. We conducted fishing trials in Norway pout (Trisopterus esmarkii) small-meshed fishery North Sea. Catch data were analysed by species and length using catch comparison ratio method. The Excluder significantly reduced (in weight) rela...
