Study on Preferred Memory Color Based on Printed Images
This graphical image illustrates the relationship between color‐shift directions in the a*b*$$ {a}^{\ast }{b}^{\ast } $$ plane and CMYK ink adjustments. Through a systematic comparison of different ink adjustment methods and preference evaluation experiments conducted using eight representative memory colors images, this study proposed a practical ink ...

Worldwide Invasions of Centrarchidae: The Dark Side of the Sunfish Family
ABSTRACT Freshwater fish invasions are major drivers of global ecological change, disrupting native biodiversity and ecosystem functions. However, many invasive fish hold significant socioeconomic value, resulting in conflict over their management. Centrarchidae, which are globally distributed and are important for sportfishing and aquaculture, are now

ABSTRACT Introductions of species outside their native range, such as pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) in the Laurentian Great Lakes, can serve as unplanned experiments that provide new insights into ecological adaptation. We synthesize available information on the understudied Great Lakes pink salmon invasion and highlight how this case can inform

ABSTRACT Technological innovations for predicting fish age represent a paradigm shift from conventional age estimation methods used in fisheries science. Recently developed secondary methods rely on models trained on conventional age estimates, derived from subjective interpretation of growth patterns and a biological property of the fish to predict ...

Retinoic acid (RA) regulates the positional identity of cranial neural crest cells (CNCCs) through the transcription factors Alx1 and Alx4. Upon receiving RA from the local environment, liganded RAR/RXR heterodimers activate the expression of Alx1 and Alx4, which promote the frontonasal identity of CNCCs and inhibit the first pharyngeal arch identity ...
