  Juniper Publishers- Open Access Journal of Annals of Reviews & Research Host selection and Change of Skin Surface for Spawning Adaptation of Two Sympatric Bitterling Species- Juniper Publishers Authored by Su Hwan Kim   Abstract Bitterlings (subfamily Acheilognathinae) are small cyprinid fishes with specialized spawning habits; they deposit their eggs on the gills of freshwater mussels using their ovipositors. This study on spawning host-selection in two sympatric bitterling species, Acheilognathus macropterus and Rhodeus ocellatus, was conducted in the Bulgapcheon Stream, Korea, where four mussel species coexisted. After analyzing the four mussel species immediately after spawning, we discovered that the two bitterlings used only two mussel species as their spawning hosts, Anodonta arcaeformis and A. woodiana. Embryos of A. macropterus were predominantly found in the suprabranchial chambers of the two mussel species, and the larvae were even seen in their g...

We usually assure why a man try to find a planet where the water is present: because of the water is life. Many scholars suppose that if in the definite place there is water and there is any life. And they are right. It is common knowledge, that water is the real source of life. But it helps us to get different food (fish /with meet and fat, salt, chemical elements, edible seaweeds and so forth /). We use it in many technological processes (in metallurgy, medicine, roadbuilding, in hydraulic systems, preparing our food and so on). Moreover, water permits to diminish the bad influence from the carcinogenic exhaust gases and harmful evaporations. Especially attention in this article it will be devoted to save fr...

Juniper Publishers- Open Access Journal of Annals of Reviews & Research Narrative Review of Web-based Healthy Lifestyle Interventions for Cancer Survivors- Juniper Publishers   Authored by Victoria Williams Abstract This narrative review of web-delivered weight management, diet quality, and physical activity interventions for cancer survivors relies on a systematic search of PubMed, Psych Info, and EBSCOhost which identified 19 unique web-delivered lifestyle interventions for cancer survivors. The sample sizes for these studies ranged from 11-492. Intervention duration ranged from 1-12 months; however, most interventions were 6-12 weeks in length. Ten studies were randomized controlled trials (RCTs), two were two-arm quasi RCTs, and seven employed a single-arm pre/post-test design. Many (N= 15) of the interventions were well-grounded in behavioral theory, which may have led to favorable behavior change. Most studies (15-of-19) targeted and reported increases in phy...

Juniper Publishers- Open Access Journal of Annals of Reviews & Research Corneal Micropigmentation- Juniper Publishers Authored by Charles S Zwerling Abstract Corneal micro pigmentation is an alternative surgical treatment to enucleation in blind formed eyes. Micro pigmentation is a form of tattooing in which minute, metabolically inert pigment granules are placed mechanically or manually below the epidermis for the purpose of caosmetic and/or corrective enhancement. Micro pigmentation is also known as permanent makeup, cosmetic tattooing and differs from classic tattooing in which indelible pigments are implanted intradermally and/or the skin is scarred to create legends, decorative art and/or symbolism for the purpose of body adornment. Recently, there has been a renewed interest in mechanical pigmentation of the cornea as a surgical option to enucleation and treatment of unstable corneal surfaces in patients with blind eyes.
