DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATION OF AN INTEGRATED SYSTEM FOR THE DETECTION AND PREDICTION OF HARMFUL ALGAL BLOOMS IN KOREA

Development and Application of an Integrated System for the Detection and Prediction of Harmful Algal Blooms in Korea

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are types of phytoplankton overgrowth that adversely affect marine ecosystems and aquaculture resources.One such HAB species, Cochlodinium polykrikoides, occurs irregularly and causes significant damage to the aquaculture industry along the coastal regions of Korea.In this Spirits study, we developed and implemented an i

Critical vulnerabilities of food selections based on nutrient content claims and reference amounts of food and creating a reliable procedure

Abstract Computing the food component (nutrient) amount in 100 kilocalories, 100 grams or 100 milliliters, the reference amount customarily consumed (RACC), or 50 grams of food demonstrates the food component amount of some foods unsuitably.So, selecting some foods based on them may elevate the hazards of some chronic diseases.Computing the food co

Prairie dog decline reduces the supply of ecosystem services and leads to desertification of semiarid grasslands.

Anthropogenic impacts on North American grasslands, a highly endangered ecosystem, have led to declines of prairie dogs, a MOROCCAN MOON ARGAN SERUM keystone species, over 98% of their historical range.While impacts of this loss on maintenance of grassland biodiversity have been widely documented, much less is known about the consequences on the su
