Effects of Freeze–Thaw Cycles on Water Migration, Microstructure and Protein Oxidation in Cuttlefish
This study was conducted to analyze the effects of multiple freeze–thaw (F-T) cycles on microstructural disruption, water migration, protein oxidation and textural properties of cuttlefish. Low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR) showed an increase

BloomTree: Dynamic Coloring Techniques for Exploring Deep and Wide Tree Structures
Abstract This study introduces BloomTree, an interactive Sunburst system for visualizing massive hierarchical datasets, such as the Tree of Life. Traditional static color schemes fail to maintain perceptual distinguishability when applied to millions of nodes, and managing the full tree in memory is computationally costly.

The dynamics of pattern matching in camouflaging cuttlefish
AbstractMany cephalopods escape detection using camouflage1. This behaviour relies on a visual assessment of the surroundings, on an interpretation of visual-texture statistics2–4 and on matching these statistics using millions of skin chromatophores that are controlled by motoneurons located in the brain5–7. Analysis of cuttlefish images proposed that

Investigating the essential fatty acids in the common cuttlefish Sepia officinalis (Mollusca, Cephalopoda): Molecular cloning and functional characterisation of fatty acyl desaturase and elongase [PDF]
Some polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) play critical roles in physiology and are essential for normal growth and development of aquatic animals including cephalopods like the common cuttlefish Sepia officinalis.

ABSTRACT Philosophers often think agency is essentially connected with rationality, intention, or control. However, Minimalists argue that agency is just the power to cause a change; acids and boulders are agents too. Many philosophers treat Minimalism as a wild outlier, assuming its falsity without argument.

Cephalopods, particularly the European cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis), are considered to be potential species for aquaculture diversification due to their high growth rates in captivity (Domingues, Sykes & Andrade 2001; Domingues, Bettencourt & Guerra ...

The inclusion of sulphur at two inorganic nitrogen rates (0 and 150 kg N ha−1) improves plant productivity in a ryegrass–white clover sward and reduces nitrate‐N loss to groundwater in a free‐draining sandy loam soil. ABSTRACT Background Reducing nitrogen (N) losses to water, lessening reliance on inorganic fertiliser and maintaining agricultural ...

Effect of bait\'s type and shape on catching efficiency of Pots (Gargoor) in Bandar Lengeh waters (Hormozgan province) [PDF]
Gargoor, a wired traditional pot, is used to catch demersal fish on rocky substrates. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of bait's type and shape on catching efficiency of Gargoors in Bandar Lengeh waters (Hormozgan).

Abstract Repurposing clinically approved antifibrotic agents presents a potential near‐term therapeutic strategy to mitigate the extensive fibrotic scarring that follows severe volumetric muscle loss (VML) injury and inhibits functional recovery. We hypothesized that daily oral administration of pirfenidone, an FDA‐approved antifibrotic, would mitigate

Evaluating the Validity of Model Organisms: A Review and a New Framework for Biologists
This article provides an overview on model organisms and proposes a new framework for assessing the extent to which it is justified to generalize the results obtained from a given organism. It covers both studies of human diseases and those focused on general biological processes. The first part of the article is a review on model organisms.
