A new ontology-based multimodal classification system for social media images of personality traits (2022)
Journal Article
Biswas, K., Shivakumara, P., Pal, U., & Lu, T. (2023). A new ontology-based multimodal classification system for social media images of personality traits. Signal, Image and Video Processing, 17, 543-551. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11760-022-02259-3

Number of users of social media is increasing exponentially. People are getting addicted to social media, and because of such addiction, it sometimes causes psychological and mental effects on the users. Understanding user interaction with social med...

Thesis
Cusa, M. Towards improved traceability in the seafood industry. (Thesis). University of Salford

Demand for seafood products is increasing worldwide, contributing to ever more complex supply chains and hampering traceability efforts. Despite marked improvements in seafood traceability and transparency, the fisheries industry is still victim to f... Read More about Towards improved traceability in the seafood industry.

Two hundred and five newly assembled mitogenomes provide mixed evidence for rivers as drivers of speciation for Amazonian primates (2022)
Journal Article

Mitochondrial DNA remains a cornerstone for molecular ecology, especially for study species from which high-quality tissue samples cannot be easily obtained. Methods using mitochondrial markers are usually reliant on reference databases, but these ar...

Removal of As(III) and Cr(VI) from aqueous solutions by Bixa orellana leaf biosorbent and As(III) removal using bacterial isolates from heavy metal contaminated site (2022)
Journal Article

Arsenic and chromium have affected wider area in the world including Gangetic plains of India due to its toxicity and carcinogenic characteristics. Entry of As(III) into food chain has also escalated problem. A novel approach has been adopted to deve...

Switches, stability and reversals in the evolutionary history of sexual systems in fish (2022)
Journal Article
Pla, S., Benvenuto, C., Capellini, I., & Piferrer, F. (2022). Switches, stability and reversals in the evolutionary history of sexual systems in fish. Nature communications, 13, 3029. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-022-30419-z

Sexual systems are highly diverse and have profound consequences for population dynamics and resilience. Yet, little is known about how they evolved. Using phylogenetic Bayesian modelling and a sample of 4614 species, we show that gonochorism is the...

How environmental conditions affect sleep? An investigation in domestic dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) (2022)
Journal Article
Schork, I., Manzo, I., Beiral De Oliveira, M., Costa, F., Palme, R., Young, R., & de Azevedo, C. (2022). How environmental conditions affect sleep? An investigation in domestic dogs (Canis lupus familiaris). Behavioural Processes, 199, 104662. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.beproc.2022.104662

Studies with humans and some other animal species have shown that sleep is compromised when the presence of external factors such as light, sound, and temperature surpass normal levels. This study investigated the effects of these environmental condi... Read More about How environmental conditions affect sleep? An investigation in domestic dogs (Canis lupus familiaris).

Improving phage genome annotation to understand phage biology: the case of Pseudomonas aeruginosa LES prophages (2022)
Journal Article

Bioprospecting novel hemicellulases from the gut microbiota of the common black slug (Arion ater) (2022)
Thesis

The attendant effect of continuous fossil use on the environment and energy security has prompted the search for a suitable energy alternative devoid of negative characteristics. Lignocellulose-biomass (LCB) is a renewable source of carbon for the de... Read More about Bioprospecting novel hemicellulases from the gut microbiota of the common black slug (Arion ater).

Delineating the Crop-Land Dynamic due to Extreme Environment Using Landsat Datasets: A Case Study (2022)
Journal Article

Extreme climatic conditions and natural hazard-related phenomenon have been affecting coastal regions and riverine areas. Floods, cyclones, and climate change phenomena have hammered the natural environment and increased the land dynamic, socio-econo...
