Evaluating the extent and impact of the extreme Storm Gloria on Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadows
(Elsevier, 2023-11-07)
Extreme storms can trigger abrupt and often lasting changes in ecosystems by affecting foundational (habitat-forming) species. While the frequency and intensity of extreme events are projected to increase ...
Computed tomography and predictive microbiology for non-invasive evaluation of the impact of dry-cured ham production process conditions on the behaviour of Listeria monocytogenes and Clostridium botulinum
(Elsevier, 2023-05-10)
Variability of salt content in dry-cured ham production can pose microbiological food safety issues, especially in salt reduced and/or non-nitrified products. In this regard, computed tomography (CT) ...
Single cell protein from methanotrophic bacteria as an alternative healthy and functional protein source in aquafeeds, a holistic approach in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) juveniles
(Elsevier, 2023-07-05)
Bacterial single cell protein (BSCP) obtained from methanotrophic bacteria was tested as an alternative protein source to fishmeal (FM) in compound diets for rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) juveniles ...
Near infrared sensors for the precise characterization of salt content in canned tuna fish
(Elsevier, 2023-07-28)
Non-invasive technologies could help to guarantee quality standards of canned tuna fish. The aim of this study was to investigate the ability of bench-top (FT-NIR) and low-cost (LC-NIR) near infrared ...
Modeling the airborne inoculum of Polystigma amygdalinum to optimize fungicide programs against almond red leaf blotch
(American Phytopathological Society, 2023-09-27)
Red leaf blotch (RLB) of almond, caused by the ascomycete Polystigma amygdalinum, is a severe foliar disease endemic in the Mediterranean Basin and Middle East regions. Airborne ascospores of P. amygdalinum ...
Resistance of the citrus rootstock forner-alcaide 5 to Tylenchulus semipenetrans in replant situations
(Elsevier, 2023-02-09)
The resistance of the citrus rootstock Forner-Alcaide 5 to Tylenchulus semipenetrans was assessed in comparison to the susceptible Carrizo citrange (S) in two replant situations. Changes in soil and ...
Disentangling drivers of soil organic carbon storage in deltaic rice paddies from the Ebro Delta
(Elsevier, 2023-04-17)
Paddy farming can potentially sequester carbon. However, agricultural practices may alter the stability of the soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks and thereby increase carbon mobilization in the topsoil ...
The effect of immunocastration of male and female Duroc pigs on the morphological, mechanical and compositional characteristics of pork belly
(Elsevier, 2023-06-20)
Pork belly is an important and heterogeneous cut, characterized by its fat content. Immunocastration is an alternative to surgical castration that can modify the composition of carcasses and cuts and ...
Regulation of climacteric fruit ripening in melon: recent advances and future challenges
(Oxford University Press ;Society for Experimental Biology, 2023-07-03)
Fruit ripening is a complex and highly regulated process where tomato and strawberry have been the model species classically used for studying climacteric and non-climacteric fleshy fruit ripening types, ...
Non-perennial segments in river networks
(Springer Nature, 2023-11-23)
Non-perennial river segments — those that recurrently cease to flow or frequently dry — occur in all river networks and are globally more abundant than perennial (always flowing) segments. However, ...
