A complete description of an entity is rarely contained in a single data source, but rather, it is often distributed across different data sources. Applications based on personal electronic health records, sentiment analysis, and financial records all illustrate that significant value can be derived from integrated, consistent, and queryable profiles of entities from different sources. Even mor...

“Iron prawn” is a condition of severe growth retardation that fishers call. The giant river prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) commercially important species contains high protein content and functional nutrients. However, no proteomic information available for this species. We performed the shotgun 2DLC-MS/MS analysis total from “iron prawn”. Total 19,758 peptides corresponding to 2613 high-con...

The biosynthesis of astaxanthin in the prawn was studied further using pure carotenoids and preparacions obtained from natural sources. Zeaxanthin, obtained from the Chinese lantern, was fed to the prawn, Penaeus japonicus Bate. Astaxanthin was biosynthesized from zeaxanthin, thus indicating the existence of a second pathway to astaxanthin in the prawn. Canthaxanthin and astaxanthin from crab w...

This paper introduces Prawn, a tool for rapid prototyping communication protocols over IEEE 802.11 networks. Prawn provides a software environment that makes prototyping as quick, easy, and effortless as possible and thus allows researchers to conduct both functional assessment and performance evaluation as an integral part of the protocol design process. Since Prawn runs on real IEEE 802.11 no...

Prawn, shrimp and crabs sold in Japan are mostly imported from overseas. Detection of irradiated crustaceans is very important for quality assurance. In this study, we used ESR to detect radiation-induced radicals after irradiation of prawn, shrimp and crabs of major species. No radiation-induced radicals were detected in prawn (black tiger prawn) or shrimp (white leg shrimp). Radiation-induced...

Shrimp and prawn farming in Bangladesh have experienced spectacular growth in response to expanding global demand and higher economic return. In 2011, 180 shrimp and prawn farms were surveyed in Bangladesh to estimate their production efficiency and determine factors affecting the efficiency level. The results show that there are substantial inefficiencies among shrimp and prawn farms. The tech...

We report the case of a 25-year-old female who experienced two immediate episodes of labial, lingual and larynx angiodema after eating fried mantis shrimp (Squilla empusa), a crustacean belonging to the Squillidae family, and a third episode after eating shellfish pudding. Prick by prick tests to mantis shrimp and to other crustacean were positive. Serum specific IgE showed higher values than 0...
