Alternatives to piglet castration: from issues to solutions
(Animals, 2021-04-07)Because castrated male pigs convert feed into meat less efficiently than entire males, they are less efficient regarding the utilization of resources. Moreover, surgical castration without pain relief ... -
Ammonia volatilisation from pig slurry and ANS with DMPP applied to Westerwold ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam., cv. Trinova) under Mediterranean conditions
(Science of The Total Environment, 2020-03-19)Ammonia volatilisation from agriculture represents an important nitrogen (N) loss which has both environmental and economic impacts. In regions where large amounts of manures are available, there is a ... -
Ammonium and Phosphate Recovery in a Three Chambered Microbial Electrolysis Cell: Towards Obtaining Struvite from Livestock Manure
(Processes, 2021-10-27)Ammonia and phosphate, which are present in large quantities in waste streams such as livestock manure, are key compounds in fertilization activities. Their recovery will help close natural cycles and ... -
AmodalAppleSize_RGB-D dataset: RGB-D images of apple trees annotated with modal and amodal segmentation masks for fruit detection, visibility and size estimation
(Data in Brief, 2023-12-30)The present dataset comprises a collection of RGB-D apple tree images that can be used to train and test computer vision-based fruit detection and sizing methods. This dataset encompasses two distinct ... -
Amplified plasmonic and microfluidic setup for DNA monitoring
(Microchimica Acta, 2021-09-07)Plasmonic nanosensors for label-free detection of DNA require excellent sensing resolution, which is crucial when monitoring short DNA sequences, as these induce tiny peak shifts, compared to large ... -
An Agronomic Approach to Pine Nut Production by Grafting Stone Pine on Two Rootstocks
(Agriculture, 2021-10-22)Stone pine (Pinus pinea) grows in natural stands within the Mediterranean basin and its nut is highly appreciated for its nutritional profile. Nevertheless, a decline in this species due to biotic and ... -
An anti-SARS-CoV-2 metabolite is reduced in diabetes
(Nature Metabolism, 2022-05-09)A glucose-like metabolite, which is reduced in the serum of diabetic patients, inhibits the entry of SARS-CoV-2 into key cellular targets. The work led by Cheng and colleagues provides a molecular ... -
An assessment of disease occurrence and mortality in marine fish farming in Spain
