remodeling, extracellular signaling, and along with other matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and
extracellular proteases, it plays important roles in the…

Direct application of anaerobic digestion to sewage treatment is normally only possible
under tropical weather conditions. This is the result of its diluted nature and temperatures far from
those suitable for anaerobic conversion of organic matter.…

Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) is widely used as an initial step towards an assessment
of environmental status. In the present study, underwater ambient sound recordings from two
monitoring locations in marine-protected areas (MPAs) of the Gulf…

Analysis of long-term, ground-based observation data on the Tibetan Plateau help to
enhance our understanding of land-atmosphere interactions and their influence on weather and

as a tracer of precipitation and evaporation, river outflow and ice melt/freeze. It is a key driver of oceanic
circulation through its role…

This Special Issue was designed to address advances in feeding and feed technology
and challenges in aquaculture in order to achieve a greater understanding of its management
and improve the sector. According to the FAO (Food and Agriculture…

The marine environment has proven to be a rich source of diverse natural products
with relevant activities such as anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antiepileptic, immunomodulatory,
antifungal, antiviral, and antiparasitic [1,2]. The global marine…

Marine environmental conditions are highly distinct in the Yellow Sea, the East China
Sea, and the East/Japan Sea, with characteristics such as the shallow and turbid conditions
of the Yellow Sea, relatively warm subtropical conditions of the East…
