The aquaculture industry is expanding to meet the daily requirements of humanity from high-quality seafood. In this regard, intensive aquaculture systems are suggested, resulting in high production but being challenged with immunosuppression and disease invaders. Antibiotics were used for a long time to protect and treat aquatic animals; however, continuous use led to severe food safety issues, ...

We present a new open-access electronic resource named the Russian Constructicon that offers a searchable database of Russian constructions accompanied by descriptions of their properties and illustrated with corpus examples. The project was carried out over the period 2016-2020 and at present contains an inventory of over 2200 multi-word constructions of Contemporary Standard Russian. We prioritize ...

Let <i><b>R</b></i> be a real closed field. We consider basic semi-algebraic sets defined by <i>n</i>-variate equations/inequalities of s symmetric polynomials and an equivariant family of polynomials, all of them of degree bounded by 2<i>d</i> &#60; <i>n</i>. Such a semi-algebraic set is invariant by the action of the symmetric group. We show that such a set is either empty or it contains a point ...

Introduction Adherence to healthy lifestyle recommendations has positive effects on cancer outcomes yet adherence is low among cancer survivors. Differences in adherence between women and men, phase of survivorship, and other factors that might increase adherence, like the use of traditional and complementary medicine (T&CM), need to be explored. We aimed to study the adherence to national recommendations ...

Background: Workers in the salmon processing industry have an increased risk of developing respiratory diseases and other hypersensitivity responses due to occupational exposure to bioaerosols containing fish proteins and microorganisms, and related allergens. Little is known about effective measures to reduce bioaerosol exposure and about the extent of skin complaints among workers. In addition, ...

<p>Bacteriophages (briefly, “phages”) are viruses which target bacteria, and are non-infectious to eukaryotic cells. It is estimated that more than 30 billion phages cross into the human body from the gut each day1, and eventually need to be cleared from the blood circulation. The liver plays a central role in pathogen clearance, and liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs), which form the lining ...
