MODIS medium-resolution (250and 500-m) bands were successfully used to detect and map the distribution of a harmful phytoplankton bloom (HAB) in the Paracas Bay, Peru, that caused economic losses estimated at about $28.5 million. A Red-Green-Blue combination of bands 1, 4 and 3 was used to visually distinguish the HAB while the turbidity index, a semi-quantitative measure of the amount of parti...

Current pharmacotherapy of anxiety disorders and depression mainly targets GABAA receptors and monoamines such as the serotonin and noradrenaline systems, respectively. They are effective, but an improvement of their therapeutic efficacy in regard of therapeutic onset, side effects and the number of treatment responders is desired. Here, we tested the sensitivity of a mouse line characterised b...

Epiboly, the spreading of the blastoderm over the large yolk cell, is the first morphogenetic movement of the teleost embryo. Examining this movement as a paradigm of vertebrate morphogenesis, we have focused on the epiboly arrest mutant half baked (hab), which segregates as a recessive lethal, including alleles expressing zygotic-maternal dominant (ZMD) effects. Here we show that hab is a muta...

Eco-HAB is an open source, RFID-based system for automated measurement and analysis of social preference and in-cohort sociability in mice. The system closely follows murine ethology. It requires no contact between a human experimenter and tested animals, overcoming the confounding factors that lead to irreproducible assessment of murine social behavior between laboratories. In Eco-HAB, group-h...

heavy alkylated benzene (hab), which is a by-product in linear alkylbenzene (lab) production by uop process, is separated by distillation from lab and consists of a range of components such as polyalkylbenzenes, diphenylalkanes, alkyl tetralins, and alkylindans. the products of sulfonation of hab or its distillation cuts are of wide industrial applications such as emulsifiers, dispersants in lu...
