In this paper age determination and morphological characteristics of blacktip catfish, Plicofollis dussumieri, from Oman Sea were evaluated. A total of 132 fish specimens were collected from fishing trawlers or landings from March 2011 to July 2012, with minimum and maximum of 245 mm, 195 g and 767 mm, 5801 g, respectively. Maximum life span was 12 years for the length range of 245 – 767 mm FL,...

Recent advances in neural radiance fields (NeRFs) achieve state-of-the-art novel view synthesis and facilitate dense estimation of scene properties. However, NeRFs often fail for outdoor, unbounded scenes that are captured under very sparse views with the content concentrated far away from camera, as is typical field robotics applications. In particular, NeRF-style algorithms perform poorly: 1)...

A sustainable chemical industry needs to quantify its emissions and resource consumption by life cycle assessment (LCA). However, LCA requires detailed mass energy balances, which are usually not available at early process development stages. Here, we introduce a framework (A PROcess-specific, PRedictive impact AssessmenT method for Emerging processes, APPROPRIATE) provide fully automated, pred...
