Striped bass (Morone saxatilis) and white bass (Morone chrysops) are the parental species of the hybrid striped bass, a major U.S. aquaculture species. Currently, genomic resources for striped bass, white bass, and their hybrid lag behind those of other aquaculture species. Current resources consist of a medium-density genetic linkage map and a well-annotated ovarian transcriptome. A well-annot...

in recent years, researchers have become interested in examining the effect of pettlep imagery on motor performance and how pettlep imagery can improve the performance. the aim of this study was to compare the effect of pettlep imagery and balance practice on dynamic balance in the elderly. participants were 42 male elderly in arak city. they were divided into 4 groups based on the scores of dy...

This paper presents a methodology for predicting the pitch of bass notes by utilising their metrical position within the bar. Our system assumes two separate audio channels for drums and bass. We make use of onset detection and beat tracking algorithms to determine the onset times for each bass note and the beat locations. A monophonic bass track is analysed for repetitive structures relative t...

We propose new audio features that can be extracted from bass lines. Most previous studies on content-based music information retrieval (MIR) used low-level features such as the mel-frequency cepstral coefficients and spectral centroid. Musical similarity based on these features works well to some extent but has a limit to capture fine musical characteristics. Because bass lines play important ...

Triploid largemouth bass may have potential in sport fish management and in food fish production as a means to eliminate reproduction, which would, in turn, potentially increase somatic growth. To examine this potential, four cohorts of diploid and triploid largemouth bass were produced over a 10-yr period and tagged intramuscularly with coded wire tags. Bass were stocked into Lucchetti Reservo...

Fishes were collected at 16 sites within the three major river drainages (Delaware, Susquehanna, and Ohio) of Pennsylvania. Three species were evaluated for biomarkers of estrogenic/antiandrogenic exposure, including plasma vitellogenin and testicular oocytes in male fishes. Smallmouth bass Micropterus dolomieu, white sucker Catostomus commersonii, and redhorse sucker Moxostoma species were col...

The effect of bassianolide (BASS), a cyclodepsipeptide, was investigated on mechanical response, membrane potential, intracellular Na and K contents and 45Ca uptake in response to acetylcholine (ACh) in guinea-pig taenia coli. BASS (10(-5) M) as well as verapamil (5 X 10(-7) M) and papaverine (3 X 10(-5) M) selectively inhibited the tonic component of the contraction induced by ACh (10(-5) M), ...

Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) to evaluate the mortality associated with culling in bass tournaments. The objective of this study was to quantify mortality rates of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) (LMB) and smallmouth bass (M. dolomieu) (SMB) occurring as a result of tournament-induced stress, and in particular culling. Two parallel studies were conducted. The first study quanti...

This thesis presents the software framework BASS: Business Application Support through Software Services. BASS aims at supporting Information Systems Integration. BASS development originated from our investigation about the interplay between requirements and technology in the Information Systems Integration domain. Such development encompassed a technological dimension (the BASS framework) and ...

  Eviscerated sea bass, Dicentrarchus labrax were irradiated by Cobalt-60 at commercial irradiation facility at dose of 2.5 and 5 kGy at 2–4°C. The influences of the irradiation on proximate, fatty acid and amino acid composition in cultured sea bass were investigated. Significant differences (P < 0.0.5) were found between non-irradiated and irradiated sea bass in terms of moisture, protein, fa...
