Differential irrigation scheduling by an automated algorithm of water balance tuned by capacitance-type soil moisture sensors
(Elsevier Masson, 2019-11-07)
Automated software tools are required to undertake the routine tasks and decision-making involved in scheduling irrigation. A key issue in this topic is how to integrate sensors in the scheduling approach. ...
Genomic architecture of carcass and pork traits and their association with immune capacity
(Elsevier, 2023-11-28)
Carcass and pork traits have traditionally been considered of prime importance in pig breeding programmes. However, the changing conditions in modern farming, coupled with antimicrobial resistance issues, ...
Safety and Efficacy upon Infection in Sheep with Rift Valley Fever Virus ZH548-rA2, a Triple Mutant Rescued Virus
(MDPI, 2024-01-05)
The introduction of three single nucleotide mutations into the genome of the virulent RVFV
ZH548 strain allows for the rescue of a fully attenuated virus in mice (ZH548-rA2). These mutations
are located ...
Genetic diversification patterns in swine influenza A virus (H1N2) in vaccinated and nonvaccinated animals
(Frontiers Media, 2023-09-15)
Influenza A viruses (IAVs) are characterized by having a segmented genome, low
proofreading polymerases, and a wide host range. Consequently, IAVs are
constantly evolving in nature causing a threat ...

Deu anys després de l’inici del Projecte Fonts s’han visitat 31 fonts de la Serralada Litoral ja estudiades fa una dècada per tal de comparar els seus cabals antics amb els actuals. A totes les 31 fonts ...
Different Metabolic Roles for Alternative Oxidase in Leaves of Palustrine and Terrestrial Species
(Frontiers Media, 2021-11-04)
The alternative oxidase pathway (AOP) is associated with excess energy dissipation
in leaves of terrestrial plants. To address whether this association is less important
in palustrine plants, we ...
