3-Trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol (TFM) is a pesticide used for the selective control of sea lampreys (Petromyzon marinus) in stream and river tributaries of the Great Lakes. To determine concentrations of TFM and TFM glucuronide in the edible fillet tissue of fish during sea lamprey control treatments, an analytical method was developed to determine the concentrations of these residues in rainbo...

Desain kapal penangkap ikan di Indonesia sangat beragam, salah satu keragamannya terletak pada bentuk linggi haluan kapal. Bentuk yang sesuai dapat meningkatkan performa kinerja Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengestimasi kemampuan berdasarkan haluannya terhadap tahanan dan gerak pitching Tiga digunakan dalam penelitian yaitu Raked Bow Tegak (RBT), Landai (RBL), Spoon (SB) dikombinasikan dengan...

Westslope cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki lewisi, WCT) and introduced rainbow trout (O. mykiss, RBT) readily hybridize and introgression has occurred in many drainages across the historic native range of WCT. In British Columbia (Canada), the upper Kootenay River drainage is the heart of the WCT distribution and is thought to harbour native gene pools, but many population are thought to be...

Pesticides and heavy metals are common environmental contaminants that can cause neurotoxicity to aquatic organisms, impairing reproduction and survival. Neurotoxic effects of cadmium and carbaryl exposures were estimated in larval rainbow trout (RBT; Oncorhynchus mykiss) using changes in physiological endpoints and correlations with behavioral responses. Following exposures, RBT were videotape...

An abdominal advancement flap (AAF) is a flap that pulls the elevated abdominal skin up and creates the shape of the inferior portion of the breast by making a neo-inframammary fold. Seven patients underwent remodeling using an AAF or a method combining an AAF with other volume displacement techniques after partial mastectomy. The excision volume ranged from 15% to 35%. AAF with only mobilizati...

The rotation based transformation (RBT) for privacy preserving data mining (PPDM) is vulnerable to the independent component analysis (ICA) attack. This paper introduces a modified multiple rotation based transformation (MRBT) technique for special mining applications mitigating the ICA attack while maintaining the advantages of the RBT.

Upconversion luminescence is an anti-Stokes' emission process by converting long wavelength near-infrared (NIR, 980 nm) irradiation into shorter wavelength visible light emission, which demonstrates many advantages including no autofluorescence, low damage to samples, no photobleaching, and high sensitivity. Based on the Rhodamine B thiolactone (RBT) functionalized NaYF(4):15%Yb(3+),5%Er(3+) (U...

Invasive hybridization and introgression pose a serious threat to the persistence of many native species. Understanding the effects of hybridization on native populations (e.g., fitness consequences) requires numerous species-diagnostic loci distributed genome-wide. Here we used RAD sequencing to discover thousands of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are diagnostic between rainbow tr...

PURPOSE To establish the reproducibility of a rebound tonometer in humans and the effect of corneal thickness on measurements, comparing it with Goldmann applanation tonometer. METHODS In a first study designed to examine the reliability of the RBT, three experienced ophthalmologists undertook three consecutive intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements in 12 eyes of 12 normal subjects. A cross-...

IntroductionThe Goldmann Applanation Tonometer (GAT) is accepted as the gold standard tool to measure Intraocular Pressure (IOP). Besides, there an emerging Icare Rebound (RBT) which can be alternative in terms of measuring IOP.ObjectiveThis research aimed analyze agreement, and repeatability intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements compare outcomes RBT GAT among Mzuzu University Students Malawi...
