Ensembles of wrappers for automated feature selection in fish age classification [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In feature selection, the most important features must be chosen so as to decrease the number thereof while retaining their discriminatory information. Within this context, a novel feature selection method based on an ensemble of wrappers is proposed and

Drug Critical Limits for Urgent Physician Notification

open access: yesClinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Critical limits represent quantitative decision thresholds for drugs that require immediate clinician notification and potential life‐saving intervention. United States hospitals lack a national standard for drug critical limits. We collected critical limits from 417 US hospitals across all 50 states and Washington, D.C.; of these, 411 maintained drug ...

Acoustical estimation of fish distribution and abundance in two Spitsbergen fjords

open access: yesOceanologia, 2017
Over recent decades, the Arctic region has been subjected to rapid climate change stemming from global warming. The advance of Atlantic waters to high latitudes is notable.

Predation by Harp Seals in Atlantic Canada: Preliminary Consumption Estimates for Arctic Cod, Capelin and Atlantic Cod

open access: yesJournal of Northwest Atlantic Fishery Science, 1997
Current estimates of harp seal (Phoca groenlandica) abundance indicate that the total population size in eastern Canada in 1994 was approximately 4.8 million (95% C.I. 4.1– 5.0 million) animals. To estimate the consumption of important fish prey by harp seals off the coast of Newfoundland and in the Gulf of St.

Slip versus dilation tendency parameter space as a tool for prospecting structurally controlled geothermal systems in greenfield: insights from the greater Ruhr region

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study highlights that with the static and time‐dependent evolution of slip versus dilation tendency parameter space, structurally controlled deep geothermal systems can be selected within areas of higher permeability and lower seismic hazard. Abstract Faults play a vital role in the Earth's hydraulic system by facilitating fluid flow when dilating

Nineteenth-Century Bahia\u27s Passion for British Salted Cod: From the Seas of Newfoundland to the Portuguese Shops of Salvador\u27s Cidade Baixa, 1822-1914 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Dried cod has played a similar role to sugar in the international chain of commerce. It became a major traded commodity between British North America (Newfoundland, Nova Scotia Gaspe) in the nineteenth century.

Our shifting perspectives on the oceans [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
In the last 15 years new research findings have radically reshaped our understanding of human effects on ocean ecosystems. Here I describe five major shifts in perspective that reveal our impacts to be more severe and persistent than previously ...

Dental development in the tropical gar (Atractosteus tropicus) and the evolution of vertebrate dentitions

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Dentitions have diversified enormously during vertebrate evolution, involving reductions, modifications, or allocations to prey seizing and processing regions. A combination of ancient and novel features related to dental and oropharyngeal apparatuses is found in extant lineages of non‐teleost fishes, such as the gars.

Characterization of T-cell receptor loci and expressed repertoire reveals a capacity for robust T-cell response in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua)

open access: yesScientific Reports
The Atlantic cod presents a peculiar case in fish immunology, due to the loss of MHCII and CD4 genes. Despite the absent antibody response to T cell-dependent antigens, it is a prolific species.

What can size distributions within cohorts tell us about ecological processes in fish larvae?

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2009
Marine fish larvae are subject to variable environments, which is probably reflected in their growth and survival rates. Mortality rates are generally high and size-dependent.
