Summary: This study presents a framework for quantifying uncertainty in per-recruit analysis for small yellow croaker fisheries in China using Bayesian inference. The results indicate that the SSBPR model is more suitable for assessing small yellow croaker fisheries compared to the YPR model.

Summary: The article discusses the continuous per-recruit model for pulse fisheries and points out the issue that the existing model does not apply to fisheries with varying fishing mortality rates. A correct continuous per-recruit formulation for pulse fisheries is derived. In practice, the continuous per-recruit model can usually be closely approximated by a discrete model for calculating annual exploitation rates.

Summary: The demand for high-quality customized products drives manufacturers to adopt batch production. This study proposes an expectation-maximization-based approach to predict per-batch yield rates and evaluates its performance in different batch production patterns through simulations.

Summary: This study analyzed the ecological characteristics of the red spotted grouper, including age, growth, and mortality. The results showed a wide age distribution for the species, with a low percentage of individuals over 10 years old. Calculating the yield-per-recruit, it was found that increasing the age at first capture is more effective in increasing the yield. These findings provide important insights for fisheries management and stocking programs.

Summary: Heterosis, a common biological phenomenon in nature, significantly contributes to plant biomass and grain yield, with high economic returns in agricultural production. Recent research progress has focused on various aspects including classical genetics, genetic distance, QTLs, transcriptomes, proteomes, epigenetics, and hormone regulation, laying the foundation for in-depth study of its molecular and physiological aspects for increasing agricultural production yield.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of different nitrogen levels on biomass accumulation and grain yield of foxtail millet varieties. The results showed that planting varieties with high biomass accumulation and yield at specific nitrogen levels can reduce production costs and achieve high yields.

Summary: Managing soil micronutrients for better crop production in the Eastern Himalaya region requires understanding the status and variability of these nutrients. The study found significant differences in micronutrient concentrations under different land uses, primarily influenced by soil properties.

Summary: The study found that crops sown on November 17 had the highest levels of bacteria, fungi, actinomycetes, soil microbial biomass carbon, dehydrogenase activity, and available nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and sulphur. When using nutrient sources, the combination of 75% recommended dose of fertilizers, 25% nitrogen from pressmud, Azotobacto, and phosphorus solubilizing bacteria showed the highest microbial population and nutrient content.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of seasonal growth variability on per-recruit analyses and BRPs estimation, finding that ignoring seasonality can lead to substantial errors while considering seasonal growth could greatly improve the estimation. Length-frequency analysis may yield less reliable estimates compared to age-based analysis.

Summary: Soil salinity is a major problem in arid and semi-arid regions, affecting crop growth and yield. This study suggests that applying phosphorus fertilizer under saline conditions can minimize the negative effects of salinity and improve the yield of quinoa. The leaf mineral nutrient content and uptake are also influenced by phosphorus fertilization.

Summary: The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that N2 fixation by free-living microorganisms is a quantitatively important process in arid and semiarid ecosystems and that N-2 fixation per unit microbial biomass increases with increasing aridity. The study found that N2 fixation is indeed important in these ecosystems and that the fixation rate per unit microbial biomass decreases with declining aridity.

Summary: Research on renewable energy is a key challenge in this century due to increasing energy demand and environmental issues associated with fossil fuel consumption. Microalgae have received renewed attention as a potential feedstock for biofuel production, but the high cost of large-scale cultivation systems currently limits economic viability. This study aims to review factors influencing harvestable biomass energy yield in microalgal cultures, particularly those fed with wastewater, and discuss practical strategies to promote low-cost energy production. It is concluded that among the five practical strategies considered, CO2 addition and algal recycling have the greatest impact on enhancing harvestable biomass energy yield.

Summary: In this study, a stepwise fractionation method was proposed to efficiently obtain the components of lignocellulose through microwave-assisted hemicellulose fractionation and cellulose dissolution. The optimal conditions were optimized to obtain high yields of cellulose oligomers and noncondensed lignin.

Summary: The study found that the addition of glucose under mixotrophic conditions improved biomass yield and the content of useful substances in microalgae. Optimal cultivation results were obtained when 15-20 g L-1 initial glucose was provided under mixotrophic conditions.
