The initial development of carnivorous fish in farms requires intensive care regarding nutrition and management, in order to avoid the stress that can lead to cannibalistic behavior, a major cause of mortality in larvae and juveniles of cultivated carnivorous species. The objective of this article was to evaluate the initial development of carnivorous freshwater fish in South American territory, focusing on the development of the digestive tract and feeding, through a systematic literature review, resulting from research in scientific databases, with the strategy of searching for the key-words: fish and larvae and development and digestive and Brazil and "name of the different species found", besides manual searches made in the bibliographical references of the articles selected. At the end of the selection, 17 articles, published between 2007 and 2017, were included in the review. It was verified that the ontological evaluation of the digestive system of the larvae’s is of major importance to adapt the nutritional management to the needs of the young animals, reaching higher productivity of carnivorous fish.

An innovative tomogram processing method is presented, the interpretation of which can complement the static-model workflow. The process, in which a cube of tomographic velocities is generated and then tomograms are derived, will add to the information coming from the seismic data. The processed tomographic model provides interpretable information from the topographic surface and is an important tool for seismic characterization because, through the design processes, the resultant seismic character yields a set of interpretable data. In zones of dramatic topography, and in general with complex geology, it is possible to more reliably correlate the outcrops with the seismic data and in this way refine the final model of the area. These data can be used for the shallow exploration of hydrocarbon reservoirs or, for example, for the identification and structural monitoring of sweet-water aquifers that should be protected behind pipes in the design of well casing. Two case histories will be presented and commented on in the final section of this paper. Teamwork should improve when new technologies and new challenges are addressed collaboratively by people engaged in different disciplines related to geologic and geophysical activities.

Efficient and cost effective ways of irrigation have emerged as the need of the hour due to limited sweet water resources, especially the countries that are seriously hit by a lack of sweet water reservoirs. The majority of the water is wasted due to inefficient ways of watering plants. In this paper, we propose an intelligent approach for efficient plant irrigation that has a database of daily water needs of a type of plant and decides the amount of water for a plant type on the basis of the current moisture in soil, humidity, and time of the day. This approach not only saves sweet water by efficient utilization, but also supports smart consumption of energy. Our approach employs IoT and a set of sensors to efficiently record plant data and their watering needs and the approach is implemented with a mobile phone application interface that is used to continuously monitor and control the efficient watering system. The results of this study are easy to reproduce as the sensors used are cheap and easy to access. The study discusses in this paper is experimented on small area (such as tunnel farm) but the results of the experiments show that the used approach can be generalized and can be used for large size fields for efficient irrigation. The results of the experiments also outperform the manual approach and the similar approaches for sensor based irrigation systems.

Survival of Listeria monocytogenes under conditions that might be found in milk cooling systems was studied. Sterile solutions of 0.1 and 0.01% peptone, 0.1 and 0.01% nonfat dry milk (NFDM), 30% propylene glycol, and 30% propylene glycol with 0.01 % NFDM were inoculated with 6000 L. monocytogenes Scott A/ml and were incubated at 4°C. The temperature was increased to 7°C when little growth was observed. At 7°C, populations approached 109 organisms/ml in NFDM and peptone. Growth was greater in the higher concentrations of each, and there was limited survival in the glycol media. Growth in minimal media, 0.01% peptone, 0.01% NFDM, 30% propylene glycol with 0.01% NFDM, and 1 % tryptic soy broth (TSB), was studied. These media were inoculated with 3500 L. monocytogenes Jalisco cheese/ml. At 4°C, more growth was observed in the NFDM than in the peptone, no survival was seen in the glycol media, and the most growth was observed in the TSB. Growth in sterile 10, 20, and 30% propylene glycol solutions (with 0.1 % NFDM) was studied by inoculation with 8800 L. monocytogenes Jalisco cheese/ml and incubation at 4°C. Growth in the 10% solution was observed. However, there was survival in the 20 and 30% solutions with no increase in numbers apparent over the time studied. Presence of L. monocytogenes in milk cooling systems may pose a hazard, especially in sweet water systems that might contain a small amount of milk.

Three types of sanitizers commonly used in dairy processing plants were evaluated at varying concentrations and at 25 and 4°C for their ability to control potential spoilage and pathogenic bacteria in water. Test organisms included Pseudomonas fluorescens, Staphylococcus haemolyticus, and Bacillus spp. These had been isolated from samples of sweet water coolants collected in a previous national survey in grade A dairy plants. S. haemolyticus required 10 ppm chlorine, 12.5 ppm iodine, or 10 ppm quaternary ammonium compound (QAC) to reduce the population >99% at 25°C. At 4°C, however, only 93% of the population of S. haemolyticus was reduced with the 10 ppm QAC. Concentrations of 25 ppm chlorine, 2.5 ppm iodine, or 20 ppm QAC reduced the P. fluorescens population >99% at both 25 and 4°C. The Bacillus spp. was reduced >99% at concentrations of 10 ppm chlorine at 25 and 4°C, 2.5 ppm iodine at 25°C, and 10 ppm QAC at both temperatures. At 4°C, 2.5 ppm iodine reduced the Bacillus population to only 93%. All three organisms were reduced >90% at both test temperatures with concentrations of 25 ppm chlorine, 12.5 ppm iodine, or 20 ppm QAC.
