Cod Gadus morhua are important predators in many ecosystems in the North Atlantic, but their ecological importance has diminished in many areas due to stock size reductions. In contrast, the Barents Sea cod stock is currently the world’s largest and at a high level. The goal of our study was to elucidate spatial aspects of cod−prey interactions in the Barents Sea during recent warm years (2004 ...

In a multi-user environment, multiple queries coexist together in the system. Furthec we observe that these queries usually share common sub-queries or reference coninion relations. By using cached results from earlier queries, better performance as well as faster evaluation of subsequent queries can be achieved. One promising concept that has been recently proposed is the Cache-onDemand (COD) ...

BACKGROUND The aims of this study were to establish the incidence of cystic ovarian disease (COD) and its geographical and seasonal variation in Norway, investigate the effect of COD on culling rates, and describe the effects of COD on subsequent reproductive performance and its association to twins. METHODS Diagnosis of COD was made by veterinary surgeons in the field. Four statistical model...

This paper presents the treatment of Acid green V by an electrochemical oxidation using Ti/RuO2 IrO2 TiO2 as anode and cathode and NaCl as supporting electrolyte in a tubular flow reactor under continuous single pass process. During the electrolysis, COD reduction, color removal, and energy consumption were investigated under different flow rates and current densities. The experimental results ...

The coefficient of determination (CoD) has significant applications in genomics, for example, in the inference of gene regulatory networks. We study several CoD estimators, based upon the resubstitution, leave-one-out, cross-validation, and bootstrap error estimators. We present an exact formulation of performance metrics for the resubstitution and leave-one-out CoD estimators, assuming the dis...

14 Kildin cod is a small landlocked population of Atlantic cod reproductively isolated from 15 marine counterparts for around 1500-2000 years. The Kildin cod lives in a shallow 16 meromictic lake in the five-meter intermediate layer of water with sharp gradients of oxygen 17 and salinity. The cod had an effective population size of around one hundred individuals and 18 evolved unique physiologi...
