Summary: This study investigated the effects of benzylparaben on Nile tilapia, finding that environmentally related concentrations of benzylparaben could induce an antioxidant response and result in triglyceride accumulation and adipocyte formation. However, high benzylparaben concentrations inhibited lipid deposition and induced tissue inflammation.

Summary: This experiment investigated the effect of alpha ketoglutarate (AKG) with different dietary protein levels on growth, nutrient utilisation, antioxidant status and immunity in Nile tilapia. The results showed that a diet comprising 30% protein and 1% AKG could enhance growth and health in Nile tilapia, while a diet of 25% protein with AKG showed equivalent growth results to a diet of 35% protein without AKG.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of different types of non-starch polysaccharides (NSPs) on growth performance, digestive enzyme activity, antioxidant capacity, and intestinal flora of juvenile GIFT tilapia. The results showed that dietary supplementation with soluble NSPs significantly increased certain enzyme activity and decreased antioxidant capacity, while dietary supplementation with insoluble NSPs had limited effect. The abundance of certain bacteria in the intestine was also affected by NSP supplementation.

Summary: The addition of faba beans to the diet of tilapia improved fish crispiness and firmness, but also had negative effects on growth performance and physiological indices. The inclusion of faba beans in the diet resulted in a decrease in body weight and growth rate, as well as an increase in liver and visceral indices. The study also found that faba beans affected muscle fiber density and diameter, but had no significant effect on enzyme activity.

Summary: In this study on the 16th generation of Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia, clear genotype-growth associations were found in both normoxic and hypoxic environments. MAPK and VEGF signaling pathways were identified as important components in hypoxic environment, especially during the later growth stage. A meta-analysis showed shared effects across both environments, with functional pathways playing different roles in nervous system development, organ growth, and oocyte maturation at different growth stages.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of Astragaloside IV (ASIV) on growth, antioxidation, and immune function in tilapia. The results showed that ASIV improved the growth performance of tilapia and reduced oxidative damage induced by cyclophosphamide. ASIV also alleviated immunosuppression in tilapia and regulated immune-related gene expression. In conclusion, ASIV can be used as a feed additive to enhance the growth, antioxidant capacity, and immune function of tilapia.

Summary: Wireless home surveillance cameras are becoming popular for elderly/baby care and burglary detection, but attackers can still infer activities even with encrypted traffic. Despite being overlooked due to requirements, attackers can recover missing packets' metadata and build inference models to launch attacks from a distance without prior knowledge. The article demonstrates that attackers can infer victims' activities up to 40m away without any personal or environmental information.

Summary: This experiment aimed to investigate the influence of dietary protein levels on genetically improved farmed tilapia (GIFT) under chronic ammonia stress. The results showed that high ammonia exposure caused significant decrease in fish growth performance, hematological parameters, liver antioxidant enzymes, and gill Na+/K+-ATP activity. However, with the increase of dietary protein, fish showed improved weight gain rate, feed efficiency, and survival rate under high ammonia exposure. The optimal dietary protein requirement for GIFT juveniles under chronic ammonia stress was found to be 37.9%.

Summary: With the fast-growing market demand, more and more IoT data is being traded online in cloud-based data marketplaces. However, data consumers face difficulties in making purchasing decisions due to uncertain data quality and inflexible pricing interface. To address these issues, potential solutions include launching data demonstrations and releasing free sampling data to reduce uncertainty about data quality, and implementing flexible pricing based on the volume of data used. The economic benefits of these mechanisms are not yet clear. In this paper, we design optimal data selling mechanisms for IoT data exchange and derive two main findings based on theoretical analysis and evaluation on a real-world Taxi GPS dataset.

Summary: This experiment aimed to assess the impact of different levels of curcumin in the diet on the growth, muscle quality, serum-biochemical parameters, antioxidant-enzyme activities, gut micro-biome, and liver transcriptome of Chinese soft-shelled turtles. The results showed that dietary curcumin supplementation improved muscle texture and increased antioxidant enzyme activities. It also had a positive effect on gut microbiota composition and altered metabolic pathways in the liver. Based on the evaluation of serum and liver enzyme activities, the appropriate dietary curcumin supplementation for Chinese soft-shelled turtles was approximately 3.9 g/kg.
