Acoustic tags versus camera—a case study on feeding behaviour of European seabass in sea cages by I-Hao Chen, I-Hao Chen, Dimitra G. Georgopoulou, Lars O. E. Ebbesson, Dimitris Voskakis, Antonella Zanna Munthe-Kaas, Nikos Papandroulakis

“…Comparisons include a maximum activity comparison using persistent peaks, fish behavioural pattern establishment and retention, and periodical behavioural patterns.ResultsOur results demonstrate that under certain circumstances, both technologies are interchangeable from the perspective of persistent peaks and periodicity, but complementary when it comes to behaviour analysis such as food anticipatory behaviour (FAB).DiscussionWe anticipate that our findings will stimulate advances where multiple sensor types are in use to achieve a more holistic understanding of fish behaviour in the aquaculture sector using underwater technologies.…”

In-Line and Cross-Flow Coupling Vibration Response Characteristics of a Marine Viscoelastic Riser Subjected to Two-Phase Internal Flow by Xueping Chang, Jinming Fan, Wenwu Yang, Yinghui Li

“…Model validations are firstly performed through comparisons with the published experimental data and numerical simulation results, and the characteristic curves of the in-line and cross-flow vibration pattern, the in-line and cross-flow displacement trajectories, the in-line and cross-flow space-time response of displacement, and the in-line and cross-flow space-time response of stress versus different parameters are obtained, respectively. …”

Seasonal Variability of Air Pollutants and Their Relationships to Meteorological Parameters in an Urban Environment by Sherly Shelton, Gayathri Liyanage, Sanduni Jayasekara, Buddhi Pushpawela, Upaka Rathnayake, Akila Jayasundara, Lesty Dias Jayasooriya

“…Compared to two monsoon seasons, the highest daily average PM2.5 (31.2 μg/m3), PM10 (49.5 μg/m3), NO2 (18.9 ppb), CO (717.5 ppb), O3 (18.5 ppb), and SO2 (9.4 ppb) concentrations in Colombo are recorded during northeast monsoon (NEM) seasons while contrast pattern is observed in Kandy. In addition, it was found that wind speed with its direction is the most influencing factor for the pollutant concentration except for SO2 and O3 in two cities, and this is irrespective of the season. …”

Computational antidiabetic assessment of Salvia splendens L. polyphenols: SMOTE, ADME, ProTox, docking, and molecular dynamic studies by Hatun A. Alomar, Wafaa M. El Kady, Asmaa A. Mandour, Amany A. Naim, Neveen I. Ghali, Taghreed A. Ibrahim, Noha Fathallah

“…Employing the SMOTE oversampling strategy confirmed that the generated dataset mirrored the activity pattern of the original data. An ADMET analysis of twelve compounds indicated that most complied with Lipinski's rule of five, demonstrating favorable oral bioavailability and safety profiles, except for two compounds, luteolin7-O-(4″,6″-di-O-α-L-rhamno-pyranosyl)-β-D-glucopyranoside and apigenin-7-O-β-D-rutinoside, which exhibited low solubility. …”
