The effect of the fish body on the source level and beam pattern of an acoustic fish tag signal was investigated through laboratory experiments and an analytical method. In laboratory experiments, the source level and beam pattern were measured in both a tag-only group and a tag-in-fish group. In the analytical method, both forward and backward scattering were calculated by assuming the acoustic tag was a point source and the swimbladder was an air-filled prolate spheroid. The mean source level of five tested tags decreased by ∼4 dB after implantation in fish bodies, which is important for designing fish migration studies using acoustic telemetry.

The surge in plastic production has spurred a global crisis as plastic pollution intensifies, with microplastics and nanoplastics emerging as notable environmental threats. Due to their miniature size, these particles are ubiquitous across ecosystems and pose severe hazards as they are ingested and bioaccumulate within organisms. Although global plastic production has reached an alarming 400.

However, modern-air contamination may introduce complications in interpreting data obtained using current sampling methods. A new airtight methodology isolates the sample from modern ambient air; thus, returning more reproducible and reliable results when compared to two traditional (air-sensitive and non-airtight) methods.

Advancements in sign language processing technology hinge on the availability of extensive, reliable datasets, comprehensive instructions, and adherence to ethical guidelines. To facilitate progress in gesture recognition and translation systems and to support the Azerbaijani sign language community we present the Azerbaijani Sign Language Dataset (AzSLD). This comprehensive dataset was collected from a diverse group of sign language users, encompassing a range of linguistic parameters.

Measuring the consumption of processed foods made from a common raw agricultural ingredient requires to make quantities comparable, by converting them in raw product equivalent. This conversion also allows to compute total quantities. In the case of legumes, the challenge is to take into account a wide diversity of final products including packaged dry legumes, processed legumes and products cooked from legumes and other ingredients.
