(LWT - Food Science and Technology, 2019-07-24)The potential use of the microalgae species Tetraselmis and Nannochloropsis was investigated for the production of functional breads and crackers. Optimum flour substitution levels were 2.5% for baked ... -
Evapotranspiration estimates derived using thermal-based satellite remote sensing and data fusion for irrigation management in California vineyards
(Irrigation Science, 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 ... -
Utility of the two-source energy balance (TSEB) model in vine and interrow flux partitioning over the growing season
(Irrigation Science, 2018-09-14)For monitoring water use in vineyards, it becomes important to evaluate the evapotranspiration (ET) contributions from the two distinct management zones: the vines and the interrow. Often the interrow ... -
LC‐IMPACT: A regionalized life cycle damage assessment method
(Journal of Industrial Ecology, 2020-05-31)Life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) is a lively field of research, and data and models are continuously improved in terms of impact pathways covered, reliability, and spatial detail. However, many of ... -
Biological control of Callosobruchus chinensis (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) in stored chickpeas through the release of natural enemies
(Biological Control, 2020-05-28)In this study, two predatory mites and two parasitoid wasps were evaluated for their effectiveness in controlling Callosobruchus chinensis (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), a common pest in stored chickpeas. ... -
Influence of wind direction on the surface roughness of vineyards
(Irrigation Science, 2018-11-27)Remote sensing-based models are the most viable means of collecting the high-resolution spatially distributed estimates of evaporative water loss needed to manage irrigation and ensure the effective use ... -
Radio frequency cooking of pork hams followed with conventional steam cooking
(LWT - Food Science and Technology, 2020-01-27)Radio frequency (RF) is a volumetric heating technology that reduces the time needed to cook foodstuffs, but heating is not evenly distributed. The aim of this work was to develop a two-step cooking ... -
Disease-specific changes in reelin protein and mRNA in neurodegenerative diseases
(Cells, 2020-05-19)Reelin is an extracellular glycoprotein that modulates neuronal function and synaptic plasticity in the adult brain. Decreased levels of Reelin activity have been postulated as a key factor during ... -
Biosecurity assessment of Argentinian pig farms
(Preventive Veterinary Medicine, 2019-02-27)The pig industry is growing very fast in Argentina with an increasing need for replacement animals, feedstuff and transportation of animals. One of the main competitive advantages of the Argentinian pig ... -
Spatial analysis of lumpy skin disease in Eurasia - Predicting areas at risk for further spread within the region
(Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, 2018-12-06)Data from affected lumpy skin disease (LSD) locations between July 2012 and September 2018 in the Balkans, Caucasus, and Middle East were retrieved from FAO's Global Animal Disease Information System ... -
Taurine supplementation in high-soy diets affects fillet quality of European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax)
(Aquaculture, 2019-11-01)This study evaluated the effects of taurine supplementation to diets containing a high dietary inclusion of soybean meal and soy protein concentrate on growth performance and fillet quality of juvenile ... -
Nitzschia fenestralis: A new diatom species abundant in the Holocene sediments of an eastern African crater lake
