The attenuation characteristics of stress waves were studied based on 16 small-scale single-row blast tests at Otanmäki mine. In each test, the primary joint orientation was documented, two monitoring points were positioned at different distances from the blastholes, and the particle velocities in three orthogonal directions were measured. Seismic curves for the three components are shown under both short- and long-delay blast...

Diet form is increasingly recognized as a welfare-relevant factor in intensive aquaculture, yet the effects of feed cooking on fish behavioral and physiological welfare remain poorly characterized. Juvenile southern catfish (Silurus meridionalis; 6.18 ± 0.52 g) were reared for 6 weeks in an indoor recirculating aquaculture system and fed either raw grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) muscle (fish fed raw muscle, FR) or cooked...
