Efficacy of parenteral vaccination against tuberculosis with heat-inactivated Mycobacterium bovis in experimentally challenged goats
(Public Library of Science, 2018-05-09)
Tuberculosis (TB) in animals is a re-emerging disease with a wide range of hosts that
causes large economic losses in livestock. Goats are particularly susceptible to TB and, in
endemic areas, vaccination ...
Startup strategy for nitrogen removal via nitrite in a BAF system
(Springer, 2018-10-26)
A biological aerated filter (BAF) pilot plant consisting of two reactors (aerobic and anoxic one) was used to determine a strategy to remove nitrogen via nitrite. RNA/DNA analysis was performed to assess ...
Effect of proteolysis index level on instrumental adhesiveness, free amino acids content and volatile compounds profile of dry-cured ham
(Elsevier, 2018-03-02)
Defective textures in dry-cured ham are a common problem that causes important economic losses in the ham industry. An increase of proteolysis during the dry-cured ham processing may lead to high ...
Below-ground hydraulic constraints during drought-induced decline in Scots pine
(Springer, 2018-11-20)
Key message
Below-crown hydraulic resistance, a proxy for below-ground hydraulic resistance, increased during drought in Scots pine, but larger increases were not associated to drought-induced defoliation. ...
Whole genome comparisons of Fragaria, Prunus and Malus reveal different modes of evolution between Rosaceous subfamilies
(BMC, 2012-04-04)
Background: Rosaceae include numerous economically important and morphologically diverse species.
Comparative mapping between the member species in Rosaceae have indicated some level of synteny. ...
Freshwater ecotoxicity assessment of pesticide use in crop production: Testing the influence of modeling choices
(Elsevier, 2018-10-28)
Pesticides help to control weeds, pests, and diseases contributing, therefore, to food availability. However, pesticide fractions not reaching the intended target may have adverse effects on the environment ...
Assessing the variability in transmission of bovine tuberculosis within Spanish cattle herds
(Elsevier, 2018-01-31)
In Spain, despite years of efforts to eradicate bovine tuberculosis (bTB), the disease is still endemic, with some
areas of high prevalence. In this context, the surveillance and control plans may need ...
Treatment of swine manure: case studies in European’s N-surplus areas
(Universidade de São Paulo, 2016-09)
In this study, eight different manure treatment plants were monitored. The plants were four on-farm and four centralized treatment plants, all of them at full-scale level. Assessment includes a total ...
Towards a standardization of biomethane potential tests
(IWA Publishing, 2016-09-19)
Production of biogas from different organic materials is a most interesting source of renewable energy.
The biomethane potential (BMP) of these materials has to be determined to get insight in ...
Mycoplasma conjunctivae in insect vectors and anatomic locations related to transmission and persistence
(Elsevier, 2018-11-12)
Mycoplasma conjunctivae is an obligate microparasite that causes Infectious Keratoconjunctivitis (IKC) in Caprinae species. IKC is a long-recognised disease, but little attention has been paid to the ...
