Open AccessImpact of clinicians’ behavior, an educational intervention with mandated blood pressure and the hypotension prediction index software on intraoperative hypotension: a mixed methods study
Intraoperative hypotension (IOH) is associated with adverse outcomes. We therefore explored beliefs regarding IOH and barriers to its treatment. Secondarily, we assessed if an educational intervention and mand...

Successful initiation of sorus formation and viable zoospores in Ecklonia radiata on isolated lateral fronds under hatchery conditions
The critical first step to achieve the successful cultivation of Ecklonia radiata is the on-demand production of viable zoospores to seed culture ropes. However, the availability of zoospores from fertile field s...

Within-species and temperature-related variation in the growth and natural products of the red alga Asparagopsis taxiformis
The red algal genus Asparagopsis (Bonnemaisoniaceae) is a significant resource for bioactive natural products. However, prior to domestication for commercial production, we need to understand the potential variat...

Limited evolutionary responses to harvesting regime in the intensive production of algae
Plastic changes in the growth and productivity of algae in response to environment and stocking density are well established. In contrast, the capacity for such changes to persist once environmental difference...
