Which Fish Should I Eat? Perspectives Influencing Fish Consumption Choices

BACKGROUND Diverse perspectives have influenced fish consumption choices. OBJECTIVES We summarized the issue of fish consumption choice from toxicological, nutritional, ecological, and economic points of view; identified areas of overlap and disagreement among these viewpoints; and reviewed effects of previous fish consumption advisories. METHODS We reviewed published scientific literature,...

I-45: FISH and Array CGH for PGD of Cancer

We developed several FISH approaches to enable preimplantation genetic diagnosis of cancer predisposition syndromes. An overview of the applications and the results of those PGDs will be provided. In addition we developed several novel tools to genome wide screen for CNVs and SNPs in single cells. Those technologies are now being applied for polar body, blastomere and blastocyst screening for c...

Transportation Network Post-Disaster Planning and Management: A Review Part I: Post-Disaster Transportation Network Performance

In recent years, disasters have an increasing impact on modern societies in terms of both economic and human losses. Following disasters, transportation networks act as key lifelines enabling access to the affected communities and supporting evacuation, emergency response, relief and recovery operations. In this context, this two-part survey offers a systematic review of papers related to trans...

Biphasic growth in fish I: theoretical foundations.

We develop the theory of biphasic somatic growth in fish using models based on the distinction between pre- and post-maturation growth and an explicit description of energy allocation within a growing season. We define a 'generic biphasic' (GB) model that assumes post-maturation growth has a von Bertalanffy (vB) form. For this model we derive an explicit expression for the gonad weight/somatic ...
