Impact of Aging Methods and Frozen Storage on Beef Quality Attributes from Different Finishing Diets
(Iowa State University Digital Press, 2024-06-10)
The effects of finishing diet (pasture or grain) and meat preservation method on beef’s physicochemical, micro- biological, and sensory attributes were evaluated. The preservation methods assessed were ...
Alternatives to Carbon Dioxide in Two Phases for the Improvement of Broiler Chickens’ Welfare during Stunning
(MDPI, 2024-02-01)
Stunning during the slaughter process consists of inducing unconsciousness in animals in order to prevent them from feeling any avoidable pain, distress, or suffering during bleeding and related operations. ...
Trophic role and predatory interactions between the blue crab, Callinectes sapidus, and native species in open waters of the Ebro Delta
(Elsevier, 2024-01-14)
The Ebro Delta has become a major blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) fishery area in the NW Mediterranean, but there is limited information on factors controlling the abundance of populations in open waters, ...
Reviving Europe's rivers: Seven challenges in the implementation of the Nature Restoration Law to restore free-flowing rivers
(Wiley, 2024-01-30)
The EU Nature Restoration Law represents an important opportunity for freshwater habitat restoration and, consequently, freshwater biodiversity protection. However, a number of challenges must be ...
Differential Gene Expression Patterns in Peach Roots under Non-Uniform Soil Conditions in Response to Organic Matter
(MDPI, 2024-01-04)
Organic matter (OM) amendments are often encouraged in sustainable agriculture programs
but can create heterogeneous soil environments when applied to perennial crops such as peaches
(Prunus persica ...
A short note on deep contextual spatial and spectral information fusion for hyperspectral image processing: Case of pork belly properties prediction
(Wiley, 2024-04-18)
This study demonstrates a new approach to process hyperspectral images
where both the contextual spatial information as well as the spectral
information are used to predict sample properties. The deep ...
Modelling of salt uptake for salt content standardization in dry-cured ham
(Elsevier, 2024-04-26)
Salt content standardization in dry-cured ham production is complex as there are many factors that influence salt uptake. The aim of this work was to study and model salt uptake as a function of salting ...
Modelling the spatial risk of malaria through probability distribution of Anopheles maculipennis s.l. and imported cases
(Taylor and Francis, 2024-05-02)
Malaria remains one of the most important infectious diseases globally due to its high incidence and mortality rates. The
influx of infected cases from endemic to non-endemic malaria regions like Europe ...
LeTra: a leaf tracking workfow based on convolutional neural networks and intersection over union
(BMC, 2024-01-17)
Background: The study of plant photosynthesis is essential for productivity and yield. Thanks to the development of high‑throughput phenotyping (HTP) facilities, based on chlorophyll fuorescence imaging, ...
Analysing the contribution of intermittent rivers to beta diversity can improve freshwater conservation in Mediterranean rivers
(Springer, 2024-04-25)
In Mediterranean climate regions, intermittent rivers (IRs) harbor highly dynamic communities with species and trait composition changing over time and space. Simultaneously considering multiple ...
