An integrated approach including analyses of different biological traits is a proven and powerful tool used to assess the population structures fish species, which vital for fishery stock conservation management wild resources. This study evaluates use three natural tags (i.e., microsatellites, parasites, otolith nucleus chemistry) in order describe structure spinyhead croaker, Collichthys luci...

We describe the draft genome sequence of Pseudomonas plecoglossicida strain NB2011, the causative agent of white nodules in cultured large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea) in China. The draft genome sequence of the bacterium consists of 5.41 million bp, with a G+C content of 62.8%. A total of 4,952 genes were identified.

BACKGROUND The fish family Sciaenidae has numerous species that produce sounds with superfast muscles that vibrate the swimbladder. These muscles form post embryonically and undergo seasonal hypertrophy-atrophy cycles. The family has been the focus of numerous passive acoustic studies to localize spatial and temporal occurrence of spawning aggregations. Fishes produce disturbance calls when han...

Two studies were conducted to examine whether facial feedback can modulate implicit racial bias as assessed by the Implicit Association Test (IAT). Participants were surreptitiously induced to smile through holding a pencil in their mouth while viewing photographs of unfamiliar Black or White males or performed no somatic configuration while viewing the photographs (Study 1 only). All participa...

Whole-genome single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers are valuable genetic resources for the association and conservation studies. Genome-wide SNP development in many teleost species are still challenging because of the genome complexity and the cost of re-sequencing. Genotyping-By-Sequencing (GBS) provided an efficient reduced representative method to squeeze cost for SNP detection; howeve...

Black staining of the teeth in children and adolescents does not cause pain or serious illness, but it can be socially debilitating for esthetic reasons. is easily removed through periodic professional mechanical tooth cleaning ultrasonic scaling, recur within few months. Using essential oil-containing mouth rinses diluted at 50% twice per day could prevent black from returning after removed, r...

Physical models of different Intonarumori, musical instruments invented by the Italian Futurist composer Luigi Russolo, are proposed. The acoustics of the instruments is described, and a physical model to simulate such instruments is proposed. We also introduce the Croaker, a new interface made with Lego which is inspired by Russolo’s original instruments.

Black hole complementarity is incompatible with the existence of traversable wormholes. In fact, traversable wormholes cause problems for any theory where information comes out in the Hawking radiation. One school of thought on the black hole information-loss problem says that information encoded on infalling matter comes out subtly encoded in the Hawking radiation, which is only approximately ...
