In order to study the optimal use of Lactobacillus plantarum in sea cucumber (Apostichopus japonicus), 49 days feeding trial was conducted to determine the influence of immersion bathing in different concentrations of Lactobacillus plantarum CLY-05 o...
A thermotolerant bacterium Paenibacillus thiaminolyticus with an ability to produce extracellular β-mannanase was isolated from a soil sample. Bacterium produced 45 U/mL β-mannanase at 50 °C. The culture conditions for high-level production of β-mann...
This paper studies underwater legged locomotion (ULL) by means of a robotic octopus-inspired prototype and its associated model. Two different types of propulsive actions are embedded into the robot model: reaction forces due to leg contact with the ...
Weakly electric fishes (Gymnotid and Mormyrid) use an electric field to communicate efficiently (termed electrocommunication) in the turbid waters of confined spaces where other communication modalities fail. Inspired by this biological phenomenon, w...
Marine protected areas (MPAs) are designed to reduce threats to biodiversity and ecosystem functioning from anthropogenic activities. Assessment of MPAs effectiveness requires synchronous sampling of protected and non-protected areas at multiple spat...
Kinematic analysis is often performed with a camera system combined with reflective markers placed over bony landmarks. This method is restrictive (and often expensive), and limits the ability to perform analyses outside of the lab. In the present st...
A transfomer oil immersion cooling server is designed and constructed for machine learning applications and first principle calculations that are carried out for materials-related research. CPU, motherboard, random access memory, hard disk drive, sol...
In this study, a novel approach is proposed for glucose regulation in type-I diabetes patients. Unlike most studies, the glucose-insulin metabolism is considered to be uncertain. A new approach on the basis of the Immersion and Invariance (I&I) theor...
