Reduction in commercial catches of the pipi, Donax (Plebidonax) deltoides, has prompted interest in the potential for hatchery production of pipi juveniles as the basis for reseeding programs and assessments of culture potential. Adult pipis were collected from Port Stephens, New South Wales, Australia, in October/November 2008 and held in baskets in a recirculating holding system. Two consecut...

Abstract Larval metamorphosis, the planktonic larvae transited into benthic juveniles, is a short important phase for mollusks. However, information about mechanism of its larval settlement and metamorphosis Pinctada fucata martensii still limited. In this study, metabolomic transcriptomic approaches were applied to assess metabolic transcript changes among different stage groups P. f. understa...

The Signal Phase and Timing (SPaT) message is an important input for research applications of Connected Vehicles (CVs). However, the actuated signal controllers are not able to directly give SPaT information since influenced by both control logic real-time traffic demand. This study elaborates estimation method which proposed according idea that controller would provide similar timing states. T...

Despite sporadic observations of the vase tunicate, Ciona intestinalis, on boats and mooring structures in Charlottetown Harbour, Prince Edward Island, the species has not established a population in the harbour nor dispersed the ~12 km downstream to Hillsborough Bay, an important source of blue mussel (Mytilus edulis) spat for the PEI aquaculture industry. A population matrix model used in con...

In the paper, an automatic spatio-temporal video sequence segmentation algorithm is proposed. To address this very daficult computer vision problem, several novel algorithms have been developed which use both spatial and temporal information. First, a novel temporal segmentation algorithm is developed based on our previous work in motion estimation. Second, an iterative split-and-merge spatial ...

Objetivo: compreender como as áreas protegidas dialogam com instrumentos de governança, se inserem no planejamento territorial nas várias escalas e políticas setoriais, conhecendo seu potencial para enfrentamento das mudanças climáticas SPAT. Referencial teórico: a governança são interações entre estruturas, processos tradições que determinam o poder responsabilidades exercidos. Trata da relaçã...

Most of the marine bivalve production comes from aquaculture and only 11% wild fishery. For example, mussel still strongly relies on spat - recently settled juveniles. Gaps information recruitment settlement are important drawbacks for development in several geographic regions. We here study these processes using three collectors (Anchovy mesh, Rope Raschel mesh) throughout one year two coastal...

AB5TRACT Oyster landings in the Maryland portion of the Chesapeake Bay have declined by more than 50­ fold since the early part of the century, despite intensive management efforts. The am\ual shell repletion program is the most critical programmatic element to effect recovery of the ailing Eastern oyster Crassotrea Tlirginica stock and fishery. The overall efficacy of shell repletion managemen...

Ircam Spat is a software suite dedicated to sound spatialization and artificial reverberation. This paper traces the evolution of the software during the last few years and presents its current state with a focus on the newly available features. 1. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND Ircam’s Spatialisateur (commonly referred to as Spat∼) is a tool dedicated to real-time sound spatialization and artificial re...
