Climate change is rapidly modifying marine fish assemblages in the Arctic. As eggs and larvae have a narrower thermal tolerance than nonreproductive adults, their response to increasing temperatures likely one of main drivers these changes. In this study, we described ichthyoplankton West Greenland between 62 73 °N, during summers 2017–2019, investigated relationship sea surface temperature spr...

Although mercury (Hg) in polar ecosystems has been well-studied, there is little information on Hg the Arctic during low-productivity seasons like night. We quantified concentrations, carbon, and nitrogen stable isotope ratios (δ 13 C δ 15 N) muscle of cod ( Boreogadus saida ), Atlantic Gadus morhua capelin Mallotus villosus) sampled from North-West North-East Barents Sea November–December 2019...

Automatic recognition of facial expressions is a challenging problem specially for low spatial resolution facial images. It has many potential applications in human-computer interactions, social robots, deceit detection, interactive video and behavior monitoring. In this study we present a novel framework that can recognize facial expressions very efficiently and with high accuracy even for ver...

Several organic solvents (OSs) are potent carcinogens among population at risk. Their genotoxicity have important implications for cancer production. Genotoxicity could be related to lipid peroxidation with decrease of endogenous body antioxidants. This work included 27 car spray painters exposed to a mixture of mainly aromatic OSs and a comparable group of 27 males. For both groups, chromosoma...

Subsequent histopathologic analysis of those lesions demonstrated atypical melanocytes containing melanin granules within the crista profunda intermedia.6 Similarly, in their retrospective analysis of Japanese patients withmelanocytic lesions, Saida et al5 found the parallel ridge pattern more diagnostically accurateofmelanoma in situ than“i...

Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida) is the most abundant forage fish in Ocean. Here we review habitats, distribution, ecology, and physiology to assess how climate change other anthropogenic stressors are affecting this key species. This identifies vulnerabilities for different life stages across entire distribution range of cod. We explore impact environmental (abiotic biotic) on with a regional per...

The Reader-Response Theory considers the learner as an active participant in extracting meaning from a literary work depending on his/her prior experience. Teaching literature critically allows reader to create sense, and compare previous experience with written text. Second-year students cannot decode scrutinize short academic text, which unveiled that they are unaware of different types readi...
