Live-live and live-dead interactions in marine death assemblages: the case of the Patagonian clam Venus antiqua

Live and Dead Nodes

In this paper, we explore the consequences of a distinction between ‘live’ and ‘dead’ network nodes; ‘live’ nodes are able to acquire new links whereas ‘dead’ nodes are static. We develop an analytically soluble growing network model incorporating this distinction and show that it can provide a quantitative description of the empirical network composed of citations and references (inand out-lin...

Application of Live, Dead and Dried Biomasses of Aspergillus Versicolor for Cadmium Biotreatment

Background: Various industries produce and discharge wastes containing different heavy metals into the environment. Apart from using living biomass, dead and dried biomasses have been introduced as a new field of biotreatment technology. Method: The cadmium (Cd) (II) removal characteristics of live (growing), dead (autoclaved), and oven-dried biomasses of Aspergillus versicolor were examined a...

Live foods in the feeding of aquarium fish larvae

      At reproduction centers, using live food is important, especially when it comes to the first feeding of aquarium fish larvae. Live foods commonly used in the aquarium aquaculture industry include rotifers in two sizes, small types with a size of 50-110 microns, and larger types with a size of 100-200 microns, Artemia, and copepods. Fish larvae in marine aquariums primarily consume copepod...
