A NOVEL APPROACH TO CO-EXPRESSION NETWORK ANALYSIS IDENTIFIES MODULES AND GENES RELEVANT FOR MOULTING AND DEVELOPMENT IN THE ATLANTIC SALMON LOUSE (LEPEOPHTHEIRUS SALMONIS)

A novel approach to co-expression network analysis identifies modules and genes relevant for moulting and development in the Atlantic salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis)

Abstract Background The salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) is an obligate ectoparasitic copepod living on Atlantic salmon and other salmonids in the marine environment.Salmon lice cause a number of environmental problems and lead to large economical losses in aquaculture every year.In order to develop novel parasite control strategies, a better

Simplified procedure for determining of drop and stilling basin

Drops are used to effectively dissipate the surplus energy of the water flow.A closed conduit drop conveys water and stills it at its downstream.I-type Handle pipe drop is one kind of the closed conduit drops which is used in irrigation networks as a typical hydraulic structure.Sump elevation is an important design parameter for I-type pipe drop.Si
