NNLM is here to service Micronesia: A Hear and Tell session
Get PDFPresentation slidesThe Network of the National Library of Medicine once again is connecting to Micronesia. With resources for medical professionals and consumer health. The University of Washington Health Sciences Library services as our Regional Medical Library for the Network.
This session is a quick introduction to the resources and services available free to libraries and community organizations in Micronesia.
NNLM Region 5 also wants to hear the perspectives of the Micronesia communities regarding how NNLM resources and services can assist us in Micronesia to be better informed regarding medical information and contribute to a healthier community. Come join a conversation of health information needs and suggestions for cooperation and collaboration with the NNLM Region 5
Our Way: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Cultural Protocols
No full textFor more than 20 years, in consultation with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, National Archives has offered tailored services to assist Indigenous Australians to access the national archival collection for a range of purposes, including to link up with family and community. Our exhibition, education, events, publishing and digital-engagement programs develop understanding and respect through the sharing of voices, stories and perspectives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Building on well-established relationships, the "Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Strategy, 2017–2021" reflects National Archives’ commitment to broaden and strengthen its capacity to engage with, and meet the needs of, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander clients.

Haematological parameters of Cyprinus carpio with reference to probiotic feed: A machine learning approach
Get PDFThe study aims to analyze the haematological parameters of Cyprinus carpio with reference to the formulation of the probiotic fortified feeds using a machine learning approach. C. carpio fed with pelletized feed, probiotic pelletized feed (5% Lysinibacillus macroides), probiotic pearl beads (5% L. macroides) and probiotic rice puff (5% L. macroides) for 60 days. At the end of the experiments, using blood samples, the haematological indices such as leucocytes, erythrocytes, hemoglobin, hematocrit and packed-cell-volume, were analyzed. Duncan’s Multiple Range Test showed that the haematological parameters in control feeding regimes significantly (P<0.05) were low compared with that of the probiotic feeding regimes. The data sets of different feeding regimes were classified using the machine learning method. In the present study, the classifiers like the Random Forest, the Linear Model, and the Decision Tree were employed. To identify the relationship between the features, correlation coefficient and dendrogram were applied. The results of the machine learning method showed high accuracy (98%) in random forest methods followed by the decision tree method. The correlation coefficient between the haematological indices recorded a positive value. But, calculated values of mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin and mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration were either low positive or negatively correlated with other haematological indices. Based on the results, the Random Forest, Linear Model and Decision Tree Analysis might be considered for haematological classification of the fish haematological data set
Analysis of gut microbiota and immune-related genes during sea cucumber (<em>Apostichopus japonicus</em>) response to dietary supplementation with <em>Codonopsis pilosula</em>
Get PDFThe gut microbiota composition of sea cucumber (Apostichopus japonicas) was investigated using high-throughput sequencing techniques. The mRNA expression of complement component 3 and lysozyme genes was evaluated using quantitative fluorescence PCR. Sea cucumbers were fed with a basal diet (control group) and an experimental diet supplemented with Codonopsis pilosula (experimental group) for 30 days. The results showed that the alpha diversity of the gut microbiota was changed in different indices, including Chao1, the abundance-based coverage estimator, the Shannon index, and Good's coverage. Dietary C. pilosula promoted the proliferation of the Flavobacteriaceae family of the Proteobacteria phylum and reduced the relative abundance of the Verrucomicrobiaceae family of the Verrucomicrobia phylum. We concluded that dietary C. pilosula supplementation could alter the network interactions among different microbial functional groups by changing the ecological network's microbial community composition and biological evolution. A positive effect on A. japonicus immune responses in the gut was seen via increasing the mRNA expression of the complement component 3 and lysozyme genes. It seems to happen via modulating the balance in gut microbiota
The Structure of Classifier-Modifier Recursion in Thai
Get PDFThe repeating classifier-modifier sequence that occurs within Thai nominals has been analyzed as an additional projection of ClassifierP with mandatory movement operations (Singhapreecha 2001). It has also been suggested that there is a prosodic break preceding it, hence requiring recourse to apposition (Visonyanggoon 2000 and Jenks 2011). This paper provides experimental support for the structures of the Thai nominals containing one, two, three and four classifier-modifier sequences. The results from the attachment experiment reveal that the number of the sequences affects how the speakers comprehend the nominals and that their comprehension differences reflect two divergent syntactic structures. For the nominals with one classifier-modifier sequence, the sequence tends to attach the lower DP in the structure while those with two classifier-modifier sequences are likely to be ambiguous between high and low attachment interpretations. Following the results of the relative clause attachment experiment in Dillon et al. 2018, I propose that both of these nominals have embedded structures similar to restrictive relative clauses and the entire DP subsequently undergoes obligatory roll-up movement. For those with three and four classifier-modifier sequences, the preference for high attachment suggests that these sequences should be analyzed as appositive phrases
Effects of Photoperiod, Water temperature, and Exogenous Hormones on Spawning and Plasma gonadal Steroid in Starry Flounder, Platichthys stellatus
Get PDFThe sexual maturation and spawning of teleosts are regulated by the external environment and the endocrine system. When the environmental conditions are artificially adjusted at a fish farm, the maturity and spawning of fish can be controlled. In this study, sexual maturation and spawning of the starry flounder, Platichthys stellatus, were artificially induced by adjusting the water temperature and photoperiod at a fish farm to accelerate the species’ natural spawning period. One experimental group acted as a control and was exposed to a natural photoperiod and natural water temperature (NPNT). In contrast, another experimental group was exposed to an adjusted environment consisting of a regulated photoperiod and temperature (RPRT). Daylight time was reduced by 10 minutes every 3 days from 13 hours to a duration of 8 hours. The water temperature was first reduced by 1oC every day, starting at 22oC and ending at 8oC, and then raised to 10oC until the spawning period. Both experimental groups were treated with gonadotropin-releasing hormone analog (GnRHa) pellets to induce ovulation. The results show that when the water temperature and photoperiod were artificially controlled, ovulation could be induced 97 days earlier than the natural spawning. Plasma testosterone levels of RPRT and NPNT tended to increase and then decrease 1–2 months before spawning, and plasma levels of 17α,20β-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one increased 1–2 months before spawning. The concentration of estradiol-17β (E2) in plasma was not associated with spawning
