In the past 50 years, the global demand for fish products has doubled, and more than 45 percent of the world’s seafood today now comes not from wild catches, but from either land-based or offshore fish farms. To meet this rising demand for seafood worldwide, more fish have to be raised in fish farms, and aquaculture is an essential link in the agricultural chain.
The document discusses how mainstream bibliographic databases like WoS and Scopus have limited coverage of local literature from developing countries, particularly on topics related to agriculture. It analyzes publications about rice research from CAB Abstracts, Scopus, and WoS, finding much higher coverage of publications from countries like India, China, and Brazil in CAB Abstracts. The databases also cover different rice research topics unevenly, with CAB Abstracts having better coverage of topics potentially more relevant to small farmers and local contexts. This uneven coverage could bias global indicators and evaluations of science in developing areas.
Climate change is a long-term shift in weather patterns caused by both natural factors and human activities that increase greenhouse gases. It is occurring globally and is evidenced by rising sea levels, melting glaciers and sea ice, and more extreme weather events. Climate change affects all life on Earth by causing droughts, worsening storms, rising ocean temperatures that impact species migration and habitats, ocean acidification, and increased health issues for humans. While some deny the problem, the majority of scientists agree that climate change poses a severe risk and solutions like education, reducing pollution, and further research are needed to address it.
This document summarizes the Learning Support Program in Naryn villages from 2014-2017. It provides details on:
1) The number of schools and teachers involved has increased each year, reaching 17 schools and 29 teachers in 2016-2017.
2) Diagnostic tests are given to students at the beginning of each year to assess their skills. Competitions are also held between students.
3) The number of students successfully completing the program each year increased, with 543 completing it in 2015-2016.
4) Professional development activities for teachers include meetings, trainings, lesson observations, and conferences to support the program.

The cardiovascular system consists of the heart and blood vessels. The heart pumps blood through a closed, double circulatory system called the cardiac cycle. During each heartbeat, the heart ejects a certain volume of blood called the stroke volume. Blood vessels are composed of layers that allow blood to flow through while minimizing friction and allowing for gas and nutrient exchange. Key components of the cardiovascular system work together, such as the heart rate, stroke volume, and blood pressure, to efficiently circulate blood throughout the body.
The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a technique that allows for the amplification of specific DNA sequences. It involves cycling between heating and cooling steps to denature, anneal primers to, and extend DNA. This allows a small amount of DNA to be exponentially replicated, enabling applications like disease diagnosis, genetic identification, and DNA analysis. PCR requires DNA, primers, DNA polymerase, nucleotides, and thermal cycling to replicate the target DNA sequence.
1. Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is an important cause of sudden cardiac arrest and can manifest as premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) or sustained VT.
2. VT can be idiopathic, focal, or associated with structural heart disease such as ischemic or non-ischemic cardiomyopathy.
3. Treatment depends on the type and cause of VT but may include medications, implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), and catheter ablation which can be curative for some idiopathic VT cases.
- Myanmar has an extensive network of rivers and coastal areas that provide significant potential for freshwater and marine aquaculture and fisheries. Major activities include farming of fish, shrimp, seaweed and mud crabs.
- Freshwater pond culture of fish species like rohu is a major source of aquaculture production. Marine fisheries are also an important part of the fisheries sector, producing over 1.6 million metric tons annually.
- The government aims to increase sustainable fish production and improve livelihoods in the fisheries sector through policies supporting aquaculture expansion, conservation, and post-harvest technologies.
The document discusses different methods to measure energy expenditure in the human body. Indirect calorimetry measures oxygen consumption to estimate energy expenditure, using a spirometer to measure air volume and composition. Heart rate monitoring relates heart rate increases to increased oxygen consumption and energy expenditure based on an individual's established relationship. While direct calorimetry directly measures heat production for most accurate results, indirect methods and heart rate monitoring provide reasonably accurate alternatives in a cheaper and easier manner.
Muhammad Nouman is an E&I Engineer with over 3 years of experience in Saudi Arabia. He has a Bachelor's Degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering.

He is proficient in English and seeks the position of E&I Engineer on a new project.
The document discusses the history and development of the city of Boston from its founding in 1630 by Puritan colonists as a small settlement on the Shawmut Peninsula through its growth into a major seaport and center of trade and culture by the 18th century. It then outlines some of the key events and periods in Boston's history during the 19th and 20th centuries, including its role in various economic and social movements as well as its modern identity as an economic and educational center in New England today.
This document summarizes CGIAR research highlights from Latin America. It notes that while CGIAR investment in Latin America has diminished as focus has shifted to Africa and South Asia, the region remains important as a source of genetic resources, testing environments, and innovations like improved cassava processing and gender-responsive market approaches that provide lessons for global agriculture. Key accomplishments highlighted include identifying heat-tolerant sweetpotato varieties, monitoring the spread of Fusarium TR4 disease, developing optimized small-scale cassava dryers, and documenting high adoption of improved potato varieties in Peru. The implications discussed are maintaining a global CGIAR presence and leveraging Latin America's contributions to address global challenges like climate change.
