Relationships of Otolith Dimensions and Weight with Body Length of Three Lethrinid Species (Actinopterygii, Lethrinidae) from Yemen by L. A. Jawad, N. A. Al-Shwafi, G. Aguilar

“…Relationships between fish length and otolith length, width, and weight were studied in three lethrinid species Lethrinus borbonicus Valenciennes 1830, Lethrinus lentjan (Lacepède 1802), and Lethrinus mahsena (Fabricius, 1775) collected from the south of the Red Sea at the costs of the Republic of Yemen. These relationships are important for future research into the biology of these species, including their diet, feeding habits, age, and growth. …”

Ethical dimensions and societal implications: ensuring the social responsibility of CRISPR technology by Irfan Biswas, Irfan Biswas, Irfan Biswas

“…Earlier tools such as zinc-finger nucleases and TALENs performed similar tasks but were significantly more complex and costly. Yet CRISPR’s very power raises urgent ethical concerns: Who controls its use, and how can society prevent germ-line enhancement, eugenic selection, or unequal access that favors wealthy nations and patients? …”

Impact of international branch campus KPIs on the university competitiveness: FARE method by Eglė Girdzijauskaitė, Asta Radzevičienė, Artūras Jakubavičius

“…International branch campus is a rather new phenomenon in higher education and it is often questioned if it is an effective tool for HEI competitiveness because of its high risks and extremely high costs. In order for higher education institution managers to be able to use an international branch campus (IBC) as a tool for competitiveness, indicators of IBC having the strongest influence on the competitiveness of HEI must be indicated. …”

A DMPC-based three-dimensional cooperative guidance scheme with impact time and impact angle constraints by Zijie Jiang, Xiuxia Yang, Cong Wang, Yi Zhang, Hao Yu

“…For restricting the uncertain deviation between the assumed state trajectory and the actual one, a compatibility constraint is designed, and the terminal ingredients are developed for coupling and decoupling stage costs, respectively. By applying the above designed constraints and the terminal ingredients, the recursive feasibility of the resulting optimization problem and the closed-loop stability of multi-interceptor system are both ensured. …”
