GROWTH AND CONDITION OF LARGEMOUTH BASS (MICROPTERUS NIGRICANS) AND BLUEGILL (LEPOMIS MACROCHIRUS) IN A MINNESOTA, USA, LAKE WITH SEPARATE DREDGED AND NON-DREDGED BASINS

The objective of this study was to assess the growth rates and general body condition of two common game fishes (largemouth bass Micropterus nigricans BIRCH BODY SCRUB and bluegill Lepomis macrochirus) in a productive midwestern USA lake, Lake Winona, 20+ years after one of its two separate basins was partially dredged.We also used historical lake

Sex-specific splicing is an essential process that regulates sex determination and drives sexual dimorphism.Yet, how early in development widespread sex-specific transcript diversity occurs Food Processor Blades was unknown because it had yet to be studied at the genome-wide level.We use the powerful Drosophila model to show that widespread sex-spe

Background: Extracranial signals are the main source of noise in functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) as light is penetrating the cortex but also skin and muscles of the head.Aim: Here we performed three experiments to investigate the contamination of fNIRS measurements by temporal muscle activity.Material and methods: For experiment 1, we

This paper focuses on essential aspects of production scheduling in a specific job shop environment, with the primary objective of optimizing operational efficiency.Through a detailed simulation conducted in the Lekin application, a Job Shop Scheduling (JSS) system developed by M.Pinedo, we introduced four distinct jobs, each characterized by speci

The calcaneal morphology changed considerably during human evolution to enable efficient bipedal locomotion.However, little information exists regarding its adaptation to changes in habitual activities following the transition to a sedentary lifestyle.We aimed to examine changes in calcaneal morphology during the Pleistocene-Holocene Levant in ligh
