Fishery-based adaption to climate change: the case of migratory species flathead grey mullet ( L.) in Taiwan Strait, Northwestern Pacific.

The flathead gray mullet (.) is a cosmopolitan fish that lives in warm and temperate zones over 42°N-42°S. It is a key fish species for industrial fishing off coastal Taiwan.

Marine Floral Biodiversity, Threats, and Conservation in Vietnam: An Updated Review.

Part of the Indo-Chinese peninsula and located on the northwest edge of the Coral Triangle in the South China Sea, the Vietnamese coastal zone is home to a wealthy marine biodiversity associated with the regional geological setting and history, which supports a large number of marine ecosystems along a subtropical to tropical gradient. The diversity of coastal benthic marine primary producers is also a key biological factor supporting marine biological diversity. The present review provides: (1) an updated checklist of the Vietnamese marine flora, (2) a review of molecular-assisted alpha taxonomic efforts, (3) an analysis of marine floral biodiversity spatial distribution nationally and regionally (South China Sea), (4) a review of the impact of anthropogenic and environmental stressors on the Vietnamese marine flora, and (5) the efforts developed in the last decade for its conservation.

The Role of the 1,2,3-Triazolyl Heterocycle in the Helical Columnar Assembly and Electric Field Response.

Here, we have proven the role of the 1,2,3-triazolyl group in the helical assembly and electric field (E-field) response upon comparing liquid crystal analogs and based on 1,2,3-triazolyl and 1,3,4-oxadiazolyl linkers, respectively. An ordered helical column was only observed in , driven by the hydrogen-bonding interactions between the adjacent triazolyl nitrogen and hydrogen atoms. X-ray diffraction and energy simulations indicate that the helical column is a 11 helix and the helical axis does not coincide with the center of the molecular long axis.

Ferroelectrically Switchable Axial Polarization in Columnar Liquid Crystalline Phases.

Recently, ferroelectrically switchable columnar LCs have drawn a great deal of attention for their generation of rich polarization domains. Because of their unique dielectric and self-assembly properties, they are considered to be a promising material for the design of sensors and ultra-high memory devices. Herein, ferroelectrically switchable LCs by using ester, amide, and 1,2,3-triazole groups are reviewed.

Social contact patterns in Vietnam and implications for the control of infectious diseases.

Background: The spread of infectious diseases from person to person is determined by the frequency and nature of contacts between infected and susceptible members of the population. Although there is a long history of using mathematical models to understand these transmission dynamics, there are still remarkably little empirical data on contact behaviors with which to parameterize these models. Even starker is the almost complete absence of data from developing countries.
