Seasonal dynamics of copepod functional traits as ecological indicators in the marine ecosystemsNARA Subscribed
We investigated the ecological indicators and functional traits of copepods across the East Sea (ES), South Sea (SS), Yellow Sea (YS), and East China Sea (ECS) over four seasons in 2020. A total of 128 copepod species were identified and categorized into four functional traits based on variations in body length, feeding type, trophic group, and spawning strategy. In the YS, smaller copepods, primarily omnivores and mixed feede...
Few studies have addressed jack-up substructures with spudcans for offshore wind turbines targeting multi-layer seabed conditions, which are frequently found in the Korean seabed. This study analyzed existing guidelines to establish geotechnical design procedures for a newly proposed jack-up substructure supported by tubular legs with spudcans, as well as to present design cases for a target site. This jack-up spudcan was desi...
Overfishing has significantly decreased global shark populations, with some species experiencing reductions of approximately 70% over the last 50 years. Singapore is a major shark fin transhipment hub that helps to satisfy the global demand for shark fins, which are considered status symbols and reputed to have medicinal value in Asian culture. Despite the recognised and urgent need to better protect shark populations, the suc...
Prolonging survival in good health is a fundamental societal goal. However, the leading determinants of disability-free survival in healthy older people have not been well established. Data from ASPREE, a bi-national placebo-controlled trial of aspirin with 4.7 years median follow-up, was analysed. At enrolment, participants were healthy and without prior cardiovascular events, dementia or persistent physical disability. Disab...
Background The therapeutic effects of human embryonic stem cell-derived multipotent mesenchymal stem cells (M-MSCs) were evaluated for detrusor underactivity (DUA) in a rat model with atherosclerosis-induced chronic bladder ischemia (CBI) and associated mechanisms. Methods Sixteen-week-old male Sprague–Dawley rats were divided into five groups ( n = 10). The DUA groups underwent 30 bilateral repetitions of endothelial injury t...
Stem cells are capable of self-renewal and differentiation into a range of cell types and promote the release of chemokines and progenitor cells necessary for tissue regeneration. Mesenchymal stem cells are multipotent progenitor cells with enhanced proliferation and differentiation capabilities and less tumorigenicity than conventional adult stem cells; these cells are also easier to acquire. Bladder dysfunction is often chro...
