Access to reliable and accurate bathymetric data is fundamental to many marine activities.This paper proposes a merge-normalization (MN) method that is suitable for multisource bathymetric data fusion in deep ocean areas, to solve the problem of difficult to integrate high-precision digital bathymetric model (DBM) for complex sources and various re
The ocean remains a reservoir of unknown biodiversity, particularly in the deep sea.Chemosynthesis-based ecosystems, such as hydrothermal vents and hydrocarbon seeps, host unique and diverse life forms that continue to be discovered and described.The present study focuses on Hair patelliform gastropods (limpets) collected from Pacific Costa Rica Ma
Objectives In March 2018, New Zealand (NZ) introduced standardised tobacco packaging that also Footwear featured new pictorial warnings, with implementation completed by early June 2018.We evaluated how the new packaging affected tobacco pack displays in outdoor areas of hospitality venues.Design Before-and-after descriptive field observation study
ObjectivePrevious studies have suggested a potential association between gut microbiota and the development of alcohol-related liver disease (ALD).However, the causal relationship between gut microbiota and ALD, as well as the role of inflammatory cytokines as mediators, remains unclear.This study aims to explore the causal relationship between gut
Microplastic pollution is prevalent in the Ottawa River, with all Hair open water samples (n = 62) and sediment samples (n = 10) containing microplastics.The median microplastic concentration of nearshore 100 L water samples was 0.1 fragments per L (ranged between 0.05 and 0.24 fragments per L).The larger volume Manta trawls samples taken in the mi
