The regulation of the Glucocorticoid Receptor (GR) transcript was investigated in the gills of Foam Plates and Platters Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) during the parr-smolt transformation.Sampling of parr and smolt fish was performed between December and July and in particular during the smoltification period occurring in spring.Quantification of GR
Inspired by living organisms and Belts being the forefront of robotics evolution, the research in soft robotics has been growing exponentially.Due to the flexibility of these robots that is made from soft materials such as silicone or even a fabric allows them to manoeuvre on secluded environments through crevice openings which bring many advantage
High carbohydrate, low fat diets decrease plasma low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and apolipoprotein B (apoB) mass in normal subjects and in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH).To investigate the mechanisms for these effects, four normal, four FH heterozygous, and one FH homozygous subjects were studied on a basal (45% carbo
Managing water resources, air quality, forests, rangelands and agricultural systems in the context of climate change requires a new level of integrated knowledge.In order to articulate a role for university-based research teams as providers of climate services, this paper analyzes environmental change concerns and expectations about climate models
Life history traits determine the organismal abundance within a population and are affected by the presence of trade-offs that modify relationships between traits.These relationships can vary across different environments either by local adaptation or phenotypic plasticity.Reproductive traits have direct fitness implications and therefore are suita
