Functional biodiversity and plasticity of methanogenic biomass from a full-scale mesophilic anaerobic digester treating nitrogen-rich agricultural wastes
(Elsevier, 2018-08-14)
The effect of ammonia on methanogenic biomass from a full-scale agricultural digester treating nitrogen-rich materials was characterized in batch activity assays subjected to increasing concentrations ...
Deep learning in agriculture: A survey
(Elsevier, 2018-02-22)
Deep learning constitutes a recent, modern technique for image processing and data analysis, with promising results and large potential. As deep learning has been successfully applied in various domains, ...
A review of the use of convolutional neural networks in agriculture
(Cambridge University Press, 2018-06-25)
Deep learning (DL) constitutes a modern technique for image processing, with large potential. Having been successfully applied in various areas, it has recently also entered the domain of agriculture. ...
Environmental accounting of closed-loop maize production scenarios: Manure as fertilizer and inclusion of catch crops
(Elsevier, 2019-04-09)
The agri-food sector has moved towards a more linear production economy, partly caused by worldwide food demand. One clear example is the intensification of livestock production, with consequent ...
Global guidance on environmental life cycle impact assessment indicators: impacts of climate change, fine particulate matter formation, water consumption and land use
(Springer Verlag, 2018-03-16)
Purpose
Guidance is needed on best-suited indicators to quantify and monitor the man-made impacts on human health, biodiversity and resources. Therefore, the UNEP-SETAC Life Cycle Initiative initiated ...
Prospective application of melanized fungi for the biofiltration of indoor air in closed bioregenerative systems
(Elsevier, 2018-08-19)
Cultures of melanized fungi representative of the black yeast orders Capnodiales (Cladosporium cladosporioides and Neohortaea acidophila) and Chaetothyriales (Cladophialophora psammophila) were confined ...
Rabbit Microbiota Changes Throughout the Intestinal Tract
(Frontiers Media, 2018-09-13)
To gain insight into the importance of carefully selecting the sampling area for intestinal
microbiota studies, cecal and fecal microbial communities of Caldes meat rabbit were
characterized. The ...
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 ...
Anaerobic digestion and electromethanogenic microbial electrolysis cell integrated system: Increased stability and recovery of ammonia and methane
(Elsevier, 2017-12-18)
The integration of anaerobic digestion (AD) and a microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) with an electromethanogenic biocathode is proposed to increase the stability and robustness of the AD process against ...
Methane potential of fruit and vegetable waste: an evaluation of the semi-continuous anaerobic mono-digestion
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-09-02)
The anaerobic digestion (AD) of a high diversity blend of fruit and vegetable waste (FVW) generated in tropical conditions as a single substrate was performed. A continuously stirred tank reactor (CSTR) ...
