Wild-type (WT) zebrafish are commonly used in behavioral tests, however, the term WT corresponds to many different strains, such as AB, Tübingen long fin (TL), and Wild Indian Karyotype (WIK). Since these strains widely used, there has be at least one study demonstrate differences between them. In our study, six were which absolute, TL, golden, pet store-purchased (PET), WIK zebrafishes. The behavior of fishes was tested a set including novel tank, mirror-biting, predator avoidance, social...
Lead and lead-derived compounds have been extensively utilized in industry, their chronic toxicity towards aquatic animals has not thoroughly addressed at a behavioral level. In this study, we assessed the risk of exposure to lead waterborne environmental concentration adult zebrafish by biochemical analyses. Nine tests, including three-dimension (3D) locomotion, novel tank exploration, mirror biting, predator avoidance, social interaction, shoaling, circadian rhythm locomotor activity,...
A T-maze test is an experimental approach that used in congenital research. However, the food reward-based protocol for fish has low efficiency and a long training period. The aim of this study to facilitate conditions by using combination principles passive avoidance spatial memory test. In our modified settings, electric shock punishment (1–2 V, 0.3–0.5 mA) given at left arm, with green cue right arm. Also, depth both arms was increased. parameters measured design were latency, freezing...
The authors determined that RF drain current degradation is responsible for the poor power performance of wide-recessed pseudomorphic high-electron-mobility transistors (PHEMTs). A model based on surface states was proposed to explain this phenomenon, which then led use charge-screen layers and a double-recessed gate process suppress effects. Combined, these two modifications increased device's gate-drain reverse breakdown voltage without causing in transistor's current. This allowed...
Pesticides are widely used to eradicate insects, weed species, and fungi in agriculture. The half-lives of some pesticides relatively long may have the dire potential induce adverse effects when released into soil, terrestrial aquatic systems. To assess pesticide pollution environment, zebrafish (Danio rerio) Daphnia magna two excellent animal models because their transparent bodies, short development processes, well-established genetic information. Moreover, they also suitable for...
The zebrafish has a tetrachromatic vision that is able to distinguish ultraviolet (UV) and visible wavelengths. Recently, color preferences have gained much attention because of the easy setup instrument its usefulness screen behavior-linked stimuli. However, several published papers dealing with contradicting results underscore importance method standardization in this field. Different laboratories may report different variations light source, intensity, other parameters such as age,...
The use of chemicals to boost food production increases as human consumption also increases. insectidal, nematicidal and acaricidal chemical carbofuran (CAF), is among the highly toxic carbamate pesticide used today. Alongside, copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO) are pesticides due their broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. overuse these may lead leaching into aquatic environments could potentially cause adverse effects animals. aim this study assess cardiovascular system zebrafish unveil...
As a nicotinoid neurotoxic insecticide, imidacloprid (IMI) works by disrupting nerve transmission via nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR). Although IMI is specifically targeting insects, nontarget animals such as the freshwater shrimp, Neocaridina denticulata, could also be affected, thus causing adverse effects on aquatic environment. To investigate toxicity organisms like N. their physiology (locomotor activity, heartbeat, and gill ventilation) biochemical factors (oxidative stress,...
This work characterizes a lily (Lilium longiflorum Thunb. cv. Snow Queen) anther (LLA) protein associated with desiccation. Peptide mapping analysis revealed that the abundant LLA-23 doublet contained similar polypeptides, having an isoelectric point of 6.1. Immunoblots pollen from developing anther/pollen confirmed accumulated only at later stage maturation and levels remained steady in mature vital pollen. The accumulation proteins was correlated desiccation naturally occurred Subcellular...
Donepezil (DPZ) is an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor used for the clinical treatment of mild cognitive impairment. However, DPZ has been reported to have adverse effects, including causing abnormal cardiac rhythm, insomnia, vomiting, and muscle cramps. existence these effects in subjects without Dementia unknown. In this study, we use zebrafish conduct a deeper analysis potential on short-term memory behaviors normal by performing multiple behavioral biochemical assays. Adult were exposed 1...
A cDNA clone encoding a desiccation-induced protein (LLA23) has been isolated from the mature pollen of Lilium longiflorum library. Sequence analysis revealed significant similarity between predicted LLA23 polypeptide, particularly at C-terminal half sequence and group water-deficit/ripening-induced proteins. The expression gene is pollen-specific transcript accumulates only later stage maturation prior to anthesis. Premature drying developing confirmed that accumulation transcripts was...
The fin is known to play an important role in swimming for many adult fish, including zebrafish. Zebrafish fins consist of paired pectoral and pelvic with unpaired dorsal, anal, caudal tail specific functions fish locomotion. However, there was no study comparing the behavior effects caused by absence each fin. We amputated zebrafish evaluated their performance 3D locomotion test using fractal dimension entropy analyses. Afterward, recovery after amputation also evaluated, together...
DeepLabCut (DLC) is a deep learning-based tool initially invented for markerless pose estimation in mammals. In this study, we explored the possibility of adopting conducting cardiac physiology assessment an important aquatic toxicology model zebrafish (Danio rerio). Initially, high-definition videography was applied to capture heartbeat information at frame rate 30 frames per second (fps). Next, 20 videos from different individuals were used perform convolutional neural network training by...
A double-recessed 0.2- mu m-gate-length pseudomorphic HEMT (PHEMT) has been demonstrated with 500 mW of output power (833 mW/mm gate periphery), 6-dB gain, and 35% power-added efficiency (PAE) at 32 GHz. At 44 GHz, the device exhibited 494 (823 mW/mm), 4.3-dB 30% PAE. This level performance is attributed to excellent MBE material, optimized epitaxial layer design, use individual source vias double recess tight channel dimensions. Excellent 3-in-wafer uniformity was also observed: DC yield...
Cardiac arrhythmia has been defined as one of the abnormal heart rhythm symptoms, which is a common problem dealt with by cardiologists. Zebrafish were established powerful animal model transparent body that enables optical observation to analyze cardiac morphology and regularity. Currently, research observed heart-related parameters in zebrafish, used different approaches, such starting from use fluorescent transgenic software, methods. In this study, we developed an innovative approach...
