In February and April 1997, three temporary interruptions of electric power production at the Uljin Nuclear Power Plant in the east coast of Korea were caused by the malfunction of the cool-ing-water supply unit. The clogging of the drum screens inside the unit caused by the surface swarm of the euphausiid Euphausia pacifica Hansen might be responsible for the malfunction. These incidents were of particular interest since such interruption of reactors' operation by krill swarms had not previously been reported. Using samples caught by the drum screens inside the cooling water-supply unit, we investigated the population structure of surface swarms. One occasion of nighttime and three occasions of daytime surface swarms were found in February and April 1997, respectively. The foreguts of more than 60% of E. pacifica in nighttime surface swarm were in full condition. This evidence suggests that E. pacifica aggregates to the surface water at night for feeding. In daytime surface swarms consisting of mature E. pacifica, however, foreguts in full condition were only found in less than 10eio of krill examined, suggesting that daytime surface swarms are closely related to breeding activity. During the study period, the growth rate of mature females was more than twice higher than that of mature males. Analyses of the sex-ratio and length-frequency data show a decrease in the portion of males with increasing size. There was a decline in the number of males of 19 mm in length. Energy loss during spermatophore transfer may result in the death of male E. pacifica, as found in male E. superba.

This feeding experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary inclusion of some additives on growth performance, hematological parameter and fatty acid composition of growing flounder. Triplicate groups of fish (average weight 120 g) were fed one of five diets containing 5% kelp meal (Ke), 10% krill meal (Kr), 1% garlic powder (Ga), 1% citrus meal (Ci) or control diet (Con) without supplementation for 15 weeks. After the feeding experiment, survival was not significantly different among the groups fed the different diets. Weight gain of fish fed the Ci diet was significantly higher than that of fish fed the Kr diet, but not significantly different from Con, Ke and Ga treatments. Feed efficiency and protein efficiency ratio of fish fed the Ga diet were significantly higher than those of fish fed the other diets. Total protein, glucose, GOT, GPT and total cholesterol contents in the plasma were not affected by the dietary additives. Composition of C20:4n-6 in the dorsal muscle of fish fed the Con diet was significantly higher than that of fish fed the other diets. The results of this study suggest that the dietary inclusion of garlic meal at 1% may improve feed utilization of growing flounder.

Parallel administration of numerous drugs increases Drug-Drug Interaction (DDI) because one drug might affect the activity of other drugs. DDI causes negative or positive impacts on therapeutic output. So there is a need to discover DDI to enhance the safety of consuming drugs. Though there are several DDI system exist to predict an interaction but nowadays it becomes impossible to maintain with a large number of biomedical texts which is getting increased rapidly. Mostly the existing DDI system address classification issues, and especially rely on handcrafted features, and some features which are based on particular domain tools. The objective of this paper to predict DDI in a way to avoid adverse effects caused by the consumed drugs, to predict similarities among the drug, Drug pair similarity calculation is performed. The best optimal weight is obtained with the support of KHA. LSTM function with weight obtained from KHA and makes bets prediction of DDI. Our methodology depends on (LSTM-KHA) for the detection of DDI. Similarities among the drugs are measured with the help of drug pair similarity calculation. KHA is used to find the best optimal weight which is used by LSTM to predict DDI. The experimental result was conducted on three kinds of dataset DS1 (CYP), DS2 (NCYP), and DS3 taken from the DrugBank database. To evaluate the performance of proposed work in terms of performance metrics like accuracy, recall, precision, F-measures, AUPR, AUC, and AUROC. Experimental results express that the proposed method outperforms other existing methods for predicting DDI. LSTMKHA produces reasonable performance metrics when compared to the existing DDI prediction model.

This study aims to explore the impact of Krill Oil (KO, Superba^TM Boost) on skin moisturization regulation. The research involved five groups: an intact control, a reference group (L-AA 100 mg/kg), and KO groups (400, 200, and 100 mg/kg), each comprising ten mice. Oral administration was conducted for 8 weeks (56 days), during which changes in body weight, hyaluronan, collagen type 1 (COL1), transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), ceramide, and water contents were analyzed in dorsal back skin tissue. Real-time PCR was employed to assess gene expression related to hyaluronic acid synthesis (HAS1, HAS2, HAS3), COL1 synthesis (COL1A1 and COL1A2), and TGF-β1. Results demonstrated that KO administration significantly increased hyaluronan content, hyaluronic acid synthesis (HAS1, HAS2, HAS3), COL1 content, COL1 synthesis (COL1A1 and COL1A2), TGF-β1 content, TGF-β1 mRNA expression, ceramide content, and water content in a concentration-dependent manner compared to the intact control. Importantly, no discernible disparities were noted between the KO and L-AA groups, even though they received equivalent oral dosages. This study accentuates the potential utility of exogenous KO in the regulation of skin moisture, thus positioning it as a promising avenue for the development of nutricosmetics. Future research endeavors should delve into the role of KO in safeguarding against both intrinsic and extrinsic aging-related skin manifestations, as well as its potential to ameliorate skin wrinkles, in conjunction with its moisturizing attributes.

Cooperative scientific research in Antarctic has been successful since the International Geophysical Year 1957/1958. Presently, 43 nations have joined the Antarctic Treaty as consultative parties or acceding states, and other treaties and agreements have evolved to conserve the integrity and to manage the resources of the Antarctic ecosystem. Although yet to be designated, tourism areas in Antarctica are under consideration. Due to its remoteness and vast magnitude, Antarctica's science is slowly emerging. Satellite technology has enabled observation of the progression of the ozone hole above Antarctica. Mineral exploitation has yet to take place, as has the transport of Antarctic icebergs to some arid nations. On the other hand, both seal and whale exploitations have occurred, devastating these populations. The lessons learned from past human greed are used to design krill and squid fisheries, though the life histories of these organisms are yet to be adequately understood. An ecosystem approach to managing Antarctic resource exploitation is essential. Procuring the needed logistics to do so is daunting, requiring the highest degree of international cooperation and educational outreach to nurture the needed effective scientific and engineering talent, both natural and social.

Omega-3 fatty acids (eicosapentaenoic acid [EPA] and docosahexaenoic acid [DHA]) may be beneficial for the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular events (CVEs), especially in patients with myocardial infarction or heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. For this purpose, one to two seafood meals per week is preferentially recommended. Omega-3 fatty acids with a high-dose EPA formula (4 g/day) may be more effective than EPA+DHA mixed supplements for the secondary prevention of CVE. Krill oil also contains omega-3 fatty acids, but at a much lower dose compared to fish oil. Supplemental vitamins and minerals have not shown the preventive effects on CVE in prospective, and randomized clinical trials, except for one Chinese study showing the stroke prevention effects of folic acid. The clinical benefit of chelation therapy in reducing CVEs is uncertain.
