Evapotranspiration estimates derived using thermal-based satellite remote sensing and data fusion for irrigation management in California vineyards
(Springer Verlag, 2018-10-10)
Irrigation in the Central Valley of California is essential for successful wine grape production. With reductions in water availability in much of California due to drought and competing water-use ...
Effects of breed‐production system on collagen, textural, and sensory traits of 10 European beef cattle breeds
(Wiley, 2018-06-23)
In the current study the collagen, texture, and sensory characteristics of meat from 712 yearling males of 10 local Spanish and French beef breeds raised in their typical production systems were described. ...
Genome encode analyses reveal the basis of convergent evolution of fleshy fruit ripening
(Nature Research, 2018-09-24)
Fleshy fruits using ethylene to regulate ripening have developed multiple times in the history of angiosperms, presenting a clear case of convergent evolution whose molecular basis remains largely ...
On-line Ham Grading using pattern recognition models based on available data in commercial pig slaughterhouses
(Elsevier, 2018-04-13)
The thickness of the subcutaneous fat in hams is one of the most important factors for the dry-curing process and largely determines its final quality. This parameter is usually measured in slaughterhouses ...
Porcine circovirus type 3: a threat to the pig industry?
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2018-01-19)
The recent discovery of porcine circovirus 3 (PCV3) has caused some concern among field veterinarians and brought the attention of the scientific world, likely because of some similarities with porcine ...
Tracking Toxoplasma gondii in freshwater ecosystems: interaction with the invasive American mink (Neovison vison) in Spain
(Springer Verlag, 2018-05-21)
Water-borne transmission may play an important role in the epidemiology of Toxoplasma gondii. Mammals closely related to freshwater ecosystems, such as the American mink (Neovison vison), are potentially ...
New insights on Listeria monocytogenes growth in pressurised cooked ham: A piezo-stimulation effect enhanced by organic acids during storage
(Elsevier, 2018-10-06)
The aim of the present study was to understand growth and survival responses of Listeria monocytogenes during the storage of high pressure processed (HPP) cooked ham formulated with organic acids to ...
Assessment of cytotoxicity in ten strains of Gambierdiscus australes from Macaronesian Islands by neuro-2a cell-based assays
(Springer, 2018-06-15)
Within the dinoflagellate genus Gambierdiscus several species are well-known producers of ciguatoxins (CTXs) and maitotoxins (MTXs). These compounds are potent marine toxins that accumulate through the ...
