Ice Fishing with my MobilDri Portable Dryer
Ice fishing comes with a certain added degree of safety over other types of fishing. Typically the two words ice and safety go hand in hand, and ice fishing with my MobilDri glove, boot, and hat warmer is no exception. Let me tell you how I found mine… I started ice fishing by sitting on a bucket out on the lake. I’d be all bundled up against the cold, big buggy insulated boots ...

Quantitative risk assessment of acquiring listeriosis from consumption of minimally processed vegetables
Listeriosis is a serious invasive disease with high fatality rates especially among the vulnerable population. Although the causative pathogen had been detected in several foods in Malaysia, there have so far been no reported cases of listeriosis in Malaysia. The aim of this study was to carry out a quantitative risk assessment to estimate the risk of acquiring listeriosis through the consumption ...

Assessing population‐level effects of zinc exposure to brown trout (Salmo trutta) in the Arkansas River at Leadville, CO
We assessed population‐level risk to upper Arkansas River brown trout (Salmo trutta L.) due to juvenile exposure to zinc. During spring, individuals in the sensitive young‐of‐the‐year life stage are exposed to elevated zinc concentrations from acid mine drainage. We built and used a simple life‐history population model for the risk assessment, with survival and fecundity parameter values drawn ...

Gamma irradiation‐induced oxidative stress and developmental impairment in the hermaphroditic fish, Kryptolebias marmoratus embryo
This study investigated the effects of gamma radiation on the early developmental stages in hermaphroditic fish embryos of Kryptolebias marmoratus. The author smeasured reactive oxygen species (ROS) level and antioxidant enzyme activities with the endpoint hatching rate after gamma irradiation of different embryonic stages. Then, the transcriptional changes of antioxidant enzyme‐coding genes were ...

Obtention of plant peroxidase and its potential for the decolorization of the reactive dye Remazol Turquoise G 133%
Peroxidases can be used in the decolorization process. There is a growing interest for new sources of this enzyme and for obtaining economically viable processes. In this work, a low-cost vegetable peroxidase extraction process is proposed; the resulting enzyme is characterized to determine its optimum pH, temperature, and stability conditions, and it is then applied in the decolorization of ...

It`s beautiful!
It's not quite five in the morning and we're walking along a track in the forest. The moon is high in the sky and provides enough light for us to see where we are going. A wolf howls in the distance. We have come to Poland's Białowieża Forest, the last refuge of the European bison, in the hope of getting a glimpse of this greatly endangered animal in its natural habitat. But the bison ...

Paths to developing multifunctional agriculture: insights for rural development policies
The paper proposes to contribute to the growing literature on the practise and significance of multifunctional agriculture, drawing on an empirical study of 50 farms located in Central Italy and Sicily. The paper intends, in particular, to identify and analyse the ways that multifunctionality can be translated into rural development models, and to distinguish the territorial and farm features ...

Historical evidence for climate driven migrations in Portuguese fishing community
A multidisciplinary, multilevel methodology that cross-examines existing historical information from past climate (1st half of 20th century), with geographic information and other historical sources available about population movements (demographic census) is proposed, allowing to map climate variability in the same period and its relationship with migration in Portuguese territory. Results are ...

Assessment of climate change impacts on irrigation water requirement and rice yield for Ngamoeyeik Irrigation Project in Myanmar
This study analyzes the impacts of climate change on irrigation water requirement (IWR) and yield for rainfed rice and irrigated paddy, respectively, at Ngamoeyeik Irrigation Project in Myanmar. Climate projections from two General Circulation Models, namely ECHAM5 and HadCM3 were derived for the 2020s, 2050s, and 2080s. The climate variables were downscaled to basin level by using the ...

Random–work–function–induced characteristic fluctuation in 16–nm–gate bulk and SOI FinFETs
In this paper, we, for the first time, study the metal gate's work–function–fluctuation–induced variability in the 16–nm–gate bulk and silicon on insulator (SOI) fin–type field effect transistor (FinFET) devices using an experimentally calibrated 3D device simulation. According to metal's property, random nanosized grains of titanium nitride (TiN) gate are statistically positioned in the gate ...

Removal of Acid Black 1 and Basic Red 2 from aqueous solutions by electrocoagulation/
Moringa oleifera seed adsorption coupling in a batch systemThe removal of Acid Black 1 (AB1) and Basic Red 2 (BR2) from aqueous solutions via an electrocoagulation (EC)/Moringa oleifera seeds (MOS) adsorption coupling process by using aluminum and stainless steel electrode in a batch reactor is described in this study. The influences of the operational parameters, i.e. current density, MOS dosage, and dye initial concentration, on degree of color ...

Soil water recharge for grassed and forested land covers on the Oak Ridges Moraine, southern Ontario, Canada
Soil water recharge (R) below 1 m depth was estimated via a 1-d water balance for grasslands, hardwood stands and red pine plantations on the Oak Ridges Moraine (ORM) in southern Ontario, Canada. Annual R values (431–696 mm) were in the order of previous estimates for outcropping sands and gravels on the ORM (∼400 mm); however, they only partially supported hypothesized differences in R ...

Significance to human health of carbamazepine detected in fruits and vegetables irrigated with recycled water
The relevance and significance of the findings of chemicals of emerging concern at nanogram concentrations in recycled water is critically important for the consumers of these crops. The relevance and significance of these chemicals at these concentrations is placed in perspective in terms of the number of years of consumption necessary to accrue one acceptable daily intake every day, over a ...

Rainfall partitioning characteristics of three typical sand-fixing shrubs in Horqin Sand Land, north-eastern China
Rainfall partitioning by vegetation affects water balance and utilization by plants. Caragana microphylla, Hedysarum fruticosum, and Salix gordejevii are three typical, morphologically different sand-fixing shrubs in Horqin Sand Land. However, few studies have compared rainfall partitioning by these shrubs. We examined rainfall partitioning differences among these shrubs in Horqin Sand Land, ...

CERAMIC GRAINS
The alumina abrasive having a microcrystalline structure obtained by the gel method is called the ceramic grains. Through special processing, each grain has thousands of tiny crystals. This structure brings the very good self-sharpness performance of the grains, which can continuously reveal new and sharp cutting edges. RIKEN RMC Ceramic grains are very dense, rough, strong and sharp. When worn, ...
