Implementation of an In-House 3D Manufacturing Unit in a Public Hospital’s Radiology Department
(MDPI, 2022-09-16)
Objective: Three-dimensional printing has become a leading manufacturing technique in healthcare in recent years. Doubts in published studies regarding the methodological rigor and cost-effectiveness and stricter regulations ...
Non-Linear Analyses of Fish Behaviours in Response to Aquatic Environmental Pollutants—A Review
(MDPI, 2023-06-12)
Analysis of fish behaviour is an effective way to indirectly identify the presence of environmental pollutants that negatively affect fish life, its production and quality. Monitoring individual and collective behaviours ...
Addressing the Joint Impact of Temperature and pH on Vibrio harveyi Adaptation in the Time of Climate Change
(MDPI, 2023-04-20)
Global warming and acidification of the global ocean are two important manifestations of the ongoing climate change. To characterize their joint impact on Vibrio adaptation and fitness, we analyzed the temperature-dependent ...
Entropy and Fractal Techniques for Monitoring Fish Behaviour and Welfare in Aquacultural Precision Fish Farming—A Review
(MDPI, 2023-03-24)
In a non-linear system, such as a biological system, the change of the output (e.g., behaviour) is not proportional to the change of the input (e.g., exposure to stressors). In addition, biological systems also change over ...
Iridescent Cellulose Nanocrystal Films: the Link Between Structural Colour and Bragg's Law
(Iop Publishing, 2018-04-30)
Structural colour is a phenomenon found in nature, which provides plants and animals with vibrant optical properties. The production of this colour is based on the interaction of incident light with the hierarchical ...
Reducing the Number of Individuals to Monitor Shoaling Fish Systems - Application of the Shannon Entropy to Construct a Biological Warning System Model
(Frontiers Media SA, 2018-05-08)
The present study aims at identifying the lowest number of fish (European seabass) that could be used for monitoring and/or experimental purposes in small-scale fish facilities by quantifying the effect that the number of ...
The Shannon Entropy Trend of a Fish System Estimated by a Machine Vision Approach Seems to Reflect the Molar Se:Hg Ratio of Its Feed
(MDPI, 2018-01-29)
The present study investigates the suitability of a machine vision-based method to detect deviations in the Shannon entropy (SE) of a European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) biological system fed with different selenium: ...
Antioxidant activities and selenogene transcription in the european sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) liver depend, in a non-linear manner, on the Se/Hg molar tatio of the feeds
(Springer Nature ; Humana Press, 2021-07-01)
[EN] Feeding 3.9 and 6.7 mg Hg/kg (Se/Hg molar ratios of 0.8 and 0.4, respectively) for 14 days negatively affected Dicentrarchus
labrax growth and total DNTB- and thioredoxin-reductase (TrxR) activities and the transcription ...
