Effect of post-harvest practices on greenhouse gas emissions in rice paddies: flooding regime and straw management
(Springer, 2022-03-22)
Aims
To assess 1) the effect of the combination of flooding (winter flooding vs. non-winter flooding; WFL vs NWF) and timing of straw incorporation (early vs late straw incorporation; ESI vs LSI) in ...
Critical analysis of life cycle inventory datasets for organic crop production systems

Clinical, imaging, and pathologic features in cases of neurologic disease in 3 psittacine birds
(SAGE Publications, 2022-05-21)
We used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to evaluate the CNS, and confirmed CNS lesions histologically, in 3 psittacine birds with neurologic signs. One bird was recumbent as a result of non-ambulatory ...
Modeling the Impact of Salinity Variations on Aquatic Environments: Including Negative and Positive Effects in Life Cycle Assessment
(American Chemical Society, 2022-01-05)
Salinity is changing in aquatic systems due to anthropogenic activities (like irrigation or dam management) and climate change. Although there are studies on the effects of salinity variations on ...
Environmental detection of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae in breed-to-wean farms
