Trophic levels can be applied to describe the ecological role of organisms in food webs and assess changes in ecosystems.Stable isotopes analysis can assist in the understanding of trophic interactions and use of food resources by aquatic organisms.The local ecological knowledge (LEK) of fishers can be an alternative to advance understanding about

An asymmetric image encryption algorithm based on integer wavelet transformation (IWT) and Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) algorithm is proposed.Firstly, two plain characteristic parameters (PCP) of the plain image are extracted and two random numbers are chosen.Then, a new parameter transformation model (PTM) is constructed to do nonlinear processing

Plasmodium vivax malaria (Pv-malaria) is still considered a neglected disease despite an alarming number of individuals being infected annually.Malaria pathogenesis occurs with the onset of the vector-parasite-host interaction through the binding of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and receptors of innate immunity, such as toll-like r
