Expression pattern of genes of hormones that control growth in fish

Thu, 01 May 2008 08:54:36 +0900

In aquaculture or the farming of fish in a controlled environment like in fishponds, in land-based tanks, and in net cages in the sea, growth is highly dependent on food availability. Whether the culture system used is extensive, where the fish stocks rely mainly on the presence of natural food, or intensive, where the stocks are largely dependent on artificial feeds, the food factor is a major determinant of success.

Family Values: its repercussions on care arrangements for immigrant children

Tue, 22 Jan 2008 10:03:47 +0900

In the transition from one culture to another, the value systems of a culture of origin could be challenged by the cultural values of the host society. However, immigrants try to adapt to their environment as a coping strategy in spite of the multiplicity and complexity of challenges in cross cultural transition (Ward, Bochner & Furnham, 2001).

Arsenic uptake in the geothermal environment

Mon, 03 Sep 2007 21:25:29 +0900

The mobility of aqueous inorganic arsenic in the geothermal environment is influenced by the (1) aqueous arsenic speciation, (2) affinity of arsenic aqueous species to minerals, and (3) stability of mineral host. These factors also dictate arsenic contamination susceptibility in areas with naturally high arsenic concentrations such as in geothermal fields.

Magnetic-field-induced fourfold azimuthal angle dependence in THz power of InAs

Tue, 25 Sep 2007 21:14:15 +0900

The terahertz (THz) frequency region, spanning the 100 GHz to 10 THz range, bridges the gap between electronics (millimeter and sub millimeter waves) and photonics (far infrared). At present, interest in THz research has grown because of the wealth of promising applications in the fields of fingerprint spectroscopy of biomolecules, environment monitoring, semiconductor and medical imaging, and even law enforcement.
