We discuss our ongoing research in sonification of neural activity as demonstrated in the “Fish and Chips” and “BrainWaves” projects. We argue that sonification can serve as an effective technique for the representation of complex spatial information such as neural activity due to the auditory system’s ability to perceive stimuli at a wide spatial cover and its inclination to perceive spatial p...

Interphase fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) is a sensitive diagnostic tool used for the detection of alterations in the genome on cell-by-cell basis. However, the cost-per-test and the technical complexity of current FISH protocols have slowed its widespread utilisation in clinical settings. For many cancers, the lack of a cost-effective and informative diagnostic method has compromise...

Processed fishery products produce unwanted materials, namely waste. Waste is generated in the form of heads, tails, fins, bones, and offal. Bone one waste from fish processing industry which has highest calcium content body. Snakehead bone (Channa striata) potential food ingredients that widely used South Sumatra, especially city Palembang as a raw material for processed specialties. Diversifi...

Gene expression analysis is changing the way that we look at toxicity, allowing toxicologists to perform parallel analyses of entire transcriptomes. While this technology is not as advanced in aquatic toxicology as it is for mammalian models, it has shown promise for determining modes of action, identifying biomarkers and developing "signatures" of chemicals that can be used for field and mixtu...

August 2005 | Volume 3 | Issue 8 | e286 | e281 According to folklore, Polynesians originated from a mythical homeland called Hawaiki. The existence of such a place, however, as well as its location, has been the subject of much speculation. Signifi cant research efforts have attempted to elucidate these claims through archeological, linguistic, and, more recently, biological evidence. Jean Trej...

This research is motivated by the success of community in Rao District making sinhok fish into processed chips so that this skill can support family economy and improve community's economy. The aim to describe role empowering welfare gender-based economic empowerment which seen from aspect capital assistance, aspects infrastructure development mentoring assistance.The approach qualitative while...

Behavior and physiology are regulated by both environment and social context. A central goal in the study of the social control of behavior is to determine the underlying physiological, cellular and molecular mechanisms in the brain. The African cichlid fish Astatotilapia burtoni has long been used as a model system to study how social interactions regulate neural and behavioral plasticity. In ...

excessive production and stockpile of scrap tires cause some environmental and sanitary risks throughout the world. to manage these materials, possible use of soil-tire mixtures has been recently propounded in civil engineering projects. a few studies previously have been conducted to evaluate behavior of clay-tire mixtures, while swelling properties, consolidation and settlement characteristic...
